On both KDE's lists about usability, it is relatively low traffic so merging 
the streams into one would result in more exposure, I think. In other words, 
skip kde-usability-devel and let kde-usability be The place. I think the line 
between the two is vague(for example: is it only experts who's allowed to 
preach on usability-devel? )

However, if there are political reasons, such as if it shouldn't be neutral 
and not KDE specific, it could be better with another list since 
kde-usability is for KDE.

Two thoughts,
