Thanks, Ashlee for the info.

As fungi mentioned, out of 9 threads in the last 6 months, 8 are technical requests for openstack-discuss ML and many of them we might have missed replying, though many are forwarded to openstack-discuss ML.  Even in the case of forwarding, I am afraid if the author is not registered to openstack-discuss and they do not see any answer/discussion for their query.

To avoid such a situation IMO, merging this list to openstack-discuss make sense. And for summit related discussion, may be we can encourage them to use the summit at openstack.org ML or any other appropriate one.

Because the name of this ML does not clarify that this is only for non-technical queries and related to user groups only (though ML topic is mentioning it).

or another option is to rename this ML to openstack-user-groups or so if possible?
