If Launchpad were more geared up for providing a better user
experience, I wouldn't mind having to sign up with them, but
as it stands, finding the mailing is really non-intuitive. Unless
you know that there is a list, you wouldn't even think there is one:
the link to the list only shows up under "Answers" as "Answer Contact"
and page there makes it look like the list is for pyOpenSSL developers
only:

https://launchpad.net/~pyopenssl-users

You'd get a lot more user attention with a list on python.org
which is announced on the python.org list page.

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo

I'd also suggest adding links to the list from the SF page, the
launchpad description and your release emails.

pyOpenSSL certainly deserves more attention in Python land, IMHO.
