Right, we are in the middle of a renovation :)
The situation *at the moment* is summarized on
http://wiki.openstack.org/MailingLists
To try to answer your question, the mailing list for the developers of
OpenStack to discuss development issues and roadmap is
openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org (this list). It is focused on the
next release of OpenStack: you should post on this list if you are a
contributor to OpenStack or are very familiar with OpenStack
development and want to discuss very precise topics, contribution ideas
and similar. Do not ask support requests on this list.
The old Launchpad list should be closed so we don't rely on Launchpad
for mailing list anymore. Last time we talked about this I don't think
we reached consensus on how to move things around and where to land
this General mailing list. A few people suggested to use the exisiting
openstack-operators mailing list as General list, therefore not
creating anything new.
Moving a group of over 4000 people from one list on Launchpad to
another on our mailman is scary. Unfortunately we can't export the list
of email addresses subscribed to Launchpad and invite them to another
list (LP doesn't allow that). The first question is: where would
people go for general openstack usage questions (is 'operators' the
best fit?) Then, what do we do with Launchpad mailing list archives? If
we find an agreement we can aim at closing the old LP-hosted mailing
list around the summit, where we will be able to announce the new list
destination to many people.
