That was the original intended purpose, but the developers didn't use
it.  Communication among developers was almost entirely on IRC.  At the
time of the HackRF beta program (more than a year ago), I started
inviting people to use the list for other purposes.  I specifically
invited every beta tester to share results here, and it has been more of
a user discussion list ever since.

Since it still isn't a high traffic list, I'm happy with having only one
list.  I'm also happy with the name hackrf-dev because it is a place
where users can ask a question and actually get an answer from a core
developer (although I know that is not the traditional meaning of
"-dev").  It also is a place where development discussion is welcome.

For many months I have been directing people to this list for general
HackRF support and discussion, e.g.:

I have updated the list description to make this clear:
