desktop-devel-list does get quite a bit of traffic that's not directly
related to development of the desktop components simply because most
developers are on this list. This decreases the signal:noise ratio by
quite a bit.

Telling people when a thread is off-topic, and which mailing list is
most on-topic, is useful because it keeps d-d-l just-about usable.
