In any case, the current "global" lists are not global, they are
English lists and should be identified as such.

They are handling global items, as I see it. I do not mind if some
people post there in a language that I do not understand (and there
are many) but then I cannot join nor help.

Some others would.

That is not what you intend I think?

What I suggest is that lists where the language is English are
identified by a @en.libreoffice.org.

Call them global or whatever you want, but identify them with a
@en.libreoffice.org.

There is no need for a "global" user list

Joining the global users lists, gives the largest public, so more
knowledge / international exchange. I find that useful in some
cases.

That works only for people who understand English. So it is not
global by definition.

That is true, so a [email protected] would show that difference.

Mind that common is (was?) that there is for example
  an users@<language>.documentfoundation.org
as well as
  a marketing or a dev@<language>.documentfoundation.org.
The place where people in a certain language area work together.

For English that obviously does not work, and for Spanish and maybe more languages too. Therefore, we already see a list for a local/regional group in the US (iirc).

So this discussion more or less fits in that space?

regards,
Cor
