For Debian development, debian-devel is the main general-purpose list that I
was thinking of.  debian-project may also qualify. 

I, personally, *don't* think the behavior on those lists is inappropriate
(in the sense that we're discussing here), I was only reacting to this:

My point is that the kinds of topics that aren't tolerated on debian-women
shouldn't be tolerated on debian-devel either, and I am very concerned that
people not let debian-devel deteriorate on the grounds that debian-women is
"good enough".
