I see your point, but doesn't python-list already fill the role you indicate
may be diminished?  Seems like the new list is meant to fill a different
need.  Perhaps one concern would be over-use of the mentoring list when
someone would be fine with python-list.  I just don't see people turning
away from python-list in favor of the mentoring list.
