Assuming we go that way, do you think it's reasonable for someone to want
to subscribe to cfe-dev but not cfe-bugs? What's the use case for that? If
it's email volume, that choice would prioritize the discussion of "I'm not
sure this is a bug" or "what's going on here?" plus general dev discussion
and announcements (cfe-dev) over the discussion of "I'm confident that this
is a bug" (cfe-bugs).

Perhaps we should have a separate cfe-announce list for people who want to
stay informed but not drink from the firehose of development discussion
(current cfe-dev plus clang bug updates).
