At the moment the line between Hurd development and the Debian Hurd
distribution is sort of blurred. To my knowledge the Hurd upstream maintainers
also subscribe to this list. And this list by far generates the most traffic
of the three main Hurd lists.

some feedback from other people who could find it useful. However if you this
this is way off-topic, please drop this thread right now.
