Hi Greg,

On the email lists, the mentor's guide suggest that we create dev@, commits@, 
and private@, also recommending that we add user@ later if needed:

https://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#request_mailing_lists 
<https://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#request_mailing_lists>

We are following the guidelines, but there is some flexibility to it.
