My personal opinion is that I would prefer NetCat to stay a separate list, mainly because of focus, it's true that using proper subjects helps but to me community acceptance, and development are separate things, and I do think feedback from the user community should be treated differently than feedback from the developer community.
That said something from NetCat might be of interest to dev, but most probably not the other way around (at least that is my feeling on this), so maybe a good compromise would be to setup some sort of redirect so that NetCat emails would also be seen by developement and if something is deemed interesting by developement then by replying to the mail both lists would be involved. For voting purposes if NetCat has to be included in the voting process then the voting email might be sent also to the NetCat list, but that could also be handled using a proper acceptance survey like the ones that were previously used in the Oracle era, but that maybe is not really in line with Apache policies.

Re-adding netcat@ (ironically! ;-) ) I agree with you that the opinion of the netcat@ list is important. If part of the point of NetCAT is to engage active / experienced users in testing, then does bringing that conversation into dev@ discourage that or not? It makes sense that everyone on dev@ is subscribed to netcat@, but does the reverse also apply? Be interested in the input of anyone on netcat@ who is not on the dev@ list, and the reasons behind that, before any vote on this.
