Adam says that devel is relevant to "*developers* (or rather, packagers)". Yet there is the "packaging" list, too. Quote from Oct 16th: "I don't know whether this belongs to the packaging or devel list,"
Now to me, THAT seems like a redundancy :) devel@ is the list for, well, developing Fedora. Is there a history behind the packaging list?
Yes. It's about discussing packaging issues and packaging standards.
The reason it exists is the same as with most other lists: People having complained about packaging discussions being non-interesting to them and thus contributing to what they consider to be noise.
I'm not familiar with it. Is it actually used much?
Yes, it is. It's not a high traffic list, but it's in active use.
