I believe that would be less so if, as a policy, each and every lib had
their own list, with maybe one general for those cases where the user does
not know where to ask. I am a user of some libs all of which are handled in
a common list. If I became a user of Boost.Python I don't think I would try
to find if the specific list exists as I am used to a common shared NG. I
guess it also depends on how clear it is in the docs where to ask...
