I don't see much chance for confusion in either one. I would
find either one acceptable, but I think a name change is essential.

Many experienced developers have asked for and received help on
this list, which is good. I suggest the charter should read:
This list is for maintainers and would-be maintainers who seek
help with packaging and other developer-related issues. Those who
prefer one-on-one help on these subjects should also post to the
list, and an experienced developer will volunteer.
In addition, I think everyone who posts user-type questions to
this list should receive a polite response suggesting he post to
deb-user.
