The subdomain facilitates different projects making different hosting choices in future (via DNS changes) if they wish without needing to make further changes to email addresses. The use of glibc in the list names is formally redundant, but we felt it was convenient for informal references to the lists in text, email client aliases, etc. to be able to talk about e.g. glibc-devel and have it unambiguous rather than just talking about devel@ which could refer to multiple projects. -- Joseph S.
