[llvm-dev] Email list just for front end developers?

[Marcelo Novaes via llvm-dev]

If anyone is creating it... I'd be happy to join.

It might be better for the llvm-team also (fewer non llvm-dev emails) and
for us front-end users/developers (even though is interesting, fewer main
team discussions emails).
