The way I see it it is like the following:
o fedora-devel - concentrates on rawhide and its way to a release - has in-house upstream development discussion - more in-depth Linux mechanics - manages release cycle
o fedora-maintainers - concentrates on the packaging community as a whole - More issues about packaging than on upstream development, if any - cares more about current and past releases
Actually I do all the freeze and collection announcements to fedora-maintainers. They're the people that need to know, and it's largely just noise for fedora-devel. To me, fedora-maintainers are the people doing the work, and a communication place for that. fedora-devel is a combo of people doing work and a larger community consuming the work.
