AFAIAC you can have your "users-only" mailing list. Personally, I will never look at it, though, since all I am interested in is the development of Git. If that holds true for the majority of Git _developers_, it might even be a bad idea to have a separate users' list, since then

- no ideas from strictly-users would flow to the developers, and

- new developments would not reach you, and

- you would not get help by the people knowing the internals _deeply_.

FWIW I think what you wish for is already covered -- and in an instantaneous manner at that -- by the IRC channel.

Ciao, Dscho
