I am looking at the MM2 mailing list creation confirmation messages in my 
personal archives.  Both d...@python.org (at 09:49 server local time?) and 
python-dev@python.org (at 14:17) were created on April 19, 1999.  I don’t 
remember what happened to dev@ but based on the timeline, I’m retroguessing 
that we created dev@ first, then quickly rethought the name, created 
python-dev@ and retired dev@.
