I have not specific preferences about lists, I simply would note that pkg-grass-general/devel were born at the time to manage a low traffic packaging oriented list and listmasters had the opinion that alioth lists were appropriate for that. That said, I would also note that current -general list is closed to subscribers, while debian-gis would be open to the world (as generally done for all listmasters lists), with obvious consequence for subscribers about spamming... -- Francesco P.
