Please also look it from the other side : do the dri users want to get the dri 
devel mails ? That could just be a bit to much mail pouring into their 
mailboxes that doesn't help them anyway.

If you want my opinion, I vote for users & devel and damn close that 
bugtracking system.  Look at what the KDE people use for bug tracking, now 
that's what i call neat (together with the nice KCrash backtracer).
