I like option B because this is more clear view of the project as
we did in many opensource projects before.

Obviously the cross-posting is inevitable. the goal should limit
the number of cross-postings.

Cheers,
Dan
Option B:
openstack-user at lists.openstack.org
openstack-announce at lists.openstack.org
openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org
