That list ("devel-cvs") already exists, sort of.
Read the file DEVEL-CVS from the cvs sources.
(it mentions "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"...I don't know
if that still works...)
Essentially anyone may read the messages sent to
devel-cvs but only those who are able to
commit to the CVS repository containng the CVS source
may post messages there, according to DEVEL-CVS
I, for example, subscribe to that list but cannot
post to it. As it happens, there is almost zero
traffic on that list. (or maybe it's broken now since
cyclic is gone?)
