It should be a squeak.org list - the VM is not Etoys-specific. How  
does packagers at squeak.org sound?

Not quite. IMHO this should not be a list for users to report bugs. It  
would be a list specifically for maintainers to discuss packaging  
issues, to alert packagers of new releases, and to provide a help  
forum for them. But it should be driven by the needs of maintainers,  
not as a general complaint sink. The volume then would be in control  
of the maintainers, and indeed be expected to be rather low.

Sounds reasonable.
