That is true, so a users@en.documentfoundation.org would show that 
difference.

Mind that common is (was?) that there is for example
  an users@<language>.documentfoundation.org
as well as
  a marketing or a dev@<language>.documentfoundation.org.
The place where people in a certain language area work together.

For English that obviously does not work, and for Spanish and maybe more 
languages too.
Therefore, we already see a list for a local/regional group in the US 
(iirc).

So this discussion more or less fits in that space?

regards,
Cor
