-project is ~550 people, -devel is ~1800, but I don't quite see the
correlation between those numbers and machine downtime explanations.
In all likelihood, a lot of the people subscribed to -devel won't notice
the post among the rest. Most people who did notice it are probably
the kind of diligent readers that would have noticed how -project exists
ages ago (and subscribed to it, or chose not to subscribe).
There's no better way to shift traffic to the topical place but to actually
do it. Frankly I don't see how anyone could have had a half-meaningful
complaint had this been posted to -project rather than -devel, because
the former has existed for four years now and that should be plenty of time
for everyone to get with the program...
