After reading through a lot of mails today and yesterday it's my 
understanding that this list will be available at gmane 
<http://www.gmane.org/> which provides a lot of opportunities to 
get this list as you like it. 

In addition I read that there is also an online forum on its way. 
It is said that it will be for end user questions but once set up a 
beta-tester sections should be addable but I don't know the 
infrastructure nor the uses forum framework. 

But from my experience the average end user prefers forums because 
he thinks them to be more clear but in the end he just starts a new 
topic because none of the presented ones seems to match his 
need/question.
