Thanks for the links, Samuel!

The distinction between lists.debian.org and lists.alioth.debian.org is that they're run by different admin teams. There is no hard rule on which list belongs where. But generally, Alioth is more developer-oriented, and you'll notice very few -user lists on [13]. It's also easier and quicker to create lists on Alioth, since it's running gforge specifically designed for teams to work - ordinary developers can create new lists, not just the actual Alioth admins.

Also I didn't even realise debian-science at lists.debian.org existed. If I had, I might have used it instead of requesting a new list on Alioth. But we've also been generating quite a lot of sagemath-specific emails, so it's probably for the best that we separate these from the wider debian-science lists.

Yes, we at Debian should probably document these "conventions" somewhere more obvious. :(
