They would still need to be posted to a list to which all developers are
subscribed.

I agree, but I think same should be done with stable user support.
faqomatic can support those users as well.

i don't know how good this will work. faqomatic is not designed for this kind
of work. I say wnpp should be left as is.

yes, the list could certainly benefit from a FAQ. Hopefully, the debian-user
faqomatic will evolve to become debian-devel faqomatic as well.
However,that kind of information is not high on my todo list for the faqomatic
at this time. I would be happy if someone stepped up and volunteered to
maintain that part of the faqomatic.

I think we should make it policy that all user and debian-mentors questions on
debian-devel should be answered privately by redirecting the person to
appropriate list. This response should NOT be cc'ed to debian-devel.
