Ah, ok, they both go in the same mail box for me, so i didn't remember
which got where.

The idea of creating d-o for discussion, and commits + bug reports to
d-o-m would allow to keep the group maintenance emails to stay as is,
and still send it to the work list, and not the discussion list, but as
you said, the current situation seems fine.
