No, randomly changing mainline list names will confuse the thousands of
people that are not confused. Better to ask them why they thought this
list was a good idea, and then track down the root of the problem, and
then fix that. In the past when I did it, it could be traced to people
telling them, or to the web site directly.
For example, we could completely remove all references to the gcc
mailing list from the web site, and invite people after the post a
single good patch to gcc-help. :-) Or, maybe just put it on a page
called contributing work to gcc. Most using gcc that just want help
would not even go to such a page.
