A lot of the traffic on jack-devel lately has been
routine linux audio user questions, often concerning
problems that aren't anything to do with JACK. This
makes it difficult to follow actual JACK development
posts as they tend to get buried.
Would a separate jack-users list be a good idea?

Possibly, but there are long periods of time with very low traffic on the
list, and traditionally a lot of the questions have been such that the
developers were some of the few people with expertise to answer.
My personal opinion is that based on historical patterns, just
recommending some threads be moved to linux-audio-users would probably be
better than starting a separate mailing list which might end up with very
few people monitoring.

Agree.
And the example of linux-audio-users and linux-audio-dev shows that most
people aren't able to post their questions to the correct group there
either. ;-/

The source of the jackaudio.org content is on Github, so it's easy to
make PR with a better wording:
https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/pulls
I'm not sure who's responsible for merging it and updating the site
then, though.

Although this is a Jack developer list, hopefully members do not mind
occasional discussions about how others program for Jack (as I am
engaged in ATM) with experts watching to correct something.

I've noticed things generally have been quiet these days here and
on LAD, LAU. Wonder why.
But I am happy to see that actually there is much action on
Jack github, much development and discussion happening still.

Fair points. The jackaudio.org web site does mention the
