Personally, I don't find it as confusing as not being able find the
page I want if I happen to use one term and not the other. The reason
I decide to add both was that some people think of mailing lists as
something exclusive and not available to anyone, while they think of
discussion groups as more open.

Regardless, if we go with a single entry, I think it should be
"Mailing Lists", and if we do that, then "Discussion Policy" needs to
be changed to "Mailing List Discussion Policy" IMO.
