[abandon in favor of mingw-users]

Agreed.

> mingw-cvs:
[CVS commit notification list: keep]

Agreed.

> mingw-dvlpr:
[private list for mingw developers: keep]

Agreed.

> mingw-editor:
[private list for mingw.org editors: keep or merge with mingw-dvlpr]

IMO covered by mingw-dvlpr -- I suppose all mingw-editors are subscribed
to mingw-dvlpr anyway and mingw-dvlpr isn't a high volume list.

> mingw-msys:
[public list for msys: keep or merge with mingw-users]

I'm ambivalent too. IMO we do have the occasional discussion regarding
msys on mingw-users=20

> mingw-notify:
[package release list: keep]

Keep or not, I'm ambivalent, but I'd suggest to forward this to
mingw-users unless already done so.

[public list for discussion of patches: keep]

> "SubmitPatches" page on the MinGWiki.

Mostly agreed. Not sure wether it is actually in use though (is it ?)
Maybe it could prove useful after being made more commonly known.

> mingw-port:
[public for discussion of mingwPORT stuff: used little and thus should
 be abandoned]

Agreed

> mingw-users:
[THE mingw list: keep]

Well, yes :-)


I do almost fully agree with your opinion, best,
