I was considering that.  It is slightly redundant, but I think it's nice to
keep the option open to create other foo-discuss or bar-contrib mailing
lists if the project grows and splits into independent subprojects.

Also, fortunately "gwt" is pretty short.  It could be worse; e.g., "
[email protected]". ;)

Yeah, I'm torn on that too and for the same reason.

But I'd also like to avoid the name "gwt-users" just because that's also
the name of Google's internal GWT users mailing list, and using the same
name just makes it more likely that a Googler accidentally confuses the two.
