Mostly asking for feedback, but happy to do the work myself. The description
for gnome-devel-list should reflect that it's for 'users of the GNOME
platform libraries', ie. independent developers, etc.

My point is, do we want to continue with the hackers/private configuration
oddness, or simplify and discard the confusing lists? (On top of that, the
policy for gnome-hackers is non-existent, so it's extra painful to have all
