I mostly agree with your proposal.  I would suggest to request the
following corresponding groups on Gmane.org:

[email protected]          gmane.emacs.auctex.general
[email protected]      gmane.emacs.auctex.bugs
[email protected]     gmane.emacs.auctex.announce (read-only)
[email protected]    gmane.emacs.auctex.devel

ACK.  (I would expect developers to read the general list, too.)

Additionally I would like to renew my proposal of diffs and commits
lists:

| Hi,
| 
| other projects on Savannah have lists corresponding to cvs commits
| and/or diffs:
| 
| ,----[ https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=emacs ]
| | emacs-commit  Mailing list where all commits to the Emacs CVS tree are sent
| | emacs-diffs   Diffs of changes in Emacs CVS tree are sent to this list
| `----
| 
| One list would contain only the ChangeLog entry of each commit (see
| http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.cvs/11123) along with a nice link
| to view the diff
| <URL:http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/man/cc-mode.texi.diff?tr1=1.23&tr2=1.24&r1=text&r2=text>.

So we would additionally have:

gmane.emacs.auctex.commits      Commits to the AUCTeX repository (read-only)
gmane.emacs.auctex.cvs          AUCTeX commit messages (read-only)

Bye, Reiner.
