I think it would be easier if you created a filter rule in your mail user agent that filters out E-Mails that have subjects that start with "[PATCH". No need to seperate mailinglists at the server for that. Also, maybe you will want to look at a patch later, and then you have to subscribe to the other list. There are enough barriers to contribution already. Patches are posted here in order to invite discussion, it's not a commit autobot that posts them or anything. Also, at least I post patches as response to non-patch discussions as well - that's important for context. I even post bug reports as response to other posts - also for context. This context would be lost in your scenario. I don't see why one would subscribe to the devel mailing list if one didn't want to see patches. I mean what would the development consist of? Writing poems? :) There's a user help list, help-guix. I'm not subscribed to it. Just now I checked help-guix archives and there was a discussion about Guix on ARM I would have been interested in but completely missed. Creating another list would make it worse in my opinion.
