Yeah, I've been thinking of it a bit, wondering how all these myriad of these components
are going to co-ordinate. Thanks for bringing this up.

You have my vote (fwiw) for using -dev, just filter the subject line to -dev with
[openstack-qa], so that folks not interested in it can simply mark the thread as "read"?

However, if folks think traffic on -dev is unbearable, an inelegant option is cross
posting? (this is done in Fedora communities where core -dev attention is required). But I
know cross-posting in generally is frowned upon..
