I value having both a macports-users and a macports-dev list. There are 
topics which clearly belong in -users (how do I migrate?), and topics 
which clearly belong in -dev (how do I fix a problem in this portfile I 
am working on?).

There are topics which may start on -users but then migrate to -dev. 
Reports of problems with ports, which need to become fixes to ports, are 
an example.  The user's question about the port not working is 
appropriate for -user. As it becomes apparent that the underlying cause 
requires a fix in the portfile, the discussion may become more 
appropriate for -dev.

So, personally, I am not in favour of merging these two lists into one.
