Test updates and test release discussions should be send to 
fedora-devel? That would result in too much traffic in fedora-devel IMO. 
  We are planning to have more QA discussions and send the results of 
the test suite in the future to fedora-test list too.

The last three are already dead. We dont delete mailing lists since we 
want to keep the archives.
