I personally don't think it's productive to immediately push people towards the mainline Debian lists. When trying to nurture people who might be hesitant about the project initially, throwing them to lists that might not be as welcoming at first sight would not help matters. Instead, I think that getting these people used to doing some work and generally more knowledgeable about Debian so that they're better prepared for these lists is a preferable approach. Granted, they could ask the same questions on other lists, but they came to this list for a reason, and that is why the list is here in the first place. - David Nusinow
