Whichever lists they're already designing or developing Perl on.  This
list is the right place to set up initial lists, but RSN we're going
to kill it.  The goal of this list is to get us going.  So far the
other lists I've heard proposed are:

  perl6-library - discussion of the standard library
  perl6-bugs    - discussion of bug-tracking system

I like library.  I think bugs should wait until after design is done
and we start thinking about implementation.

Exactly like the way this list has been flooded with off-topic posts,
yes.
