The -arch list is meant to be a low(er)-volume, higher information-density list for discussing architectural changes. It would also have the advantage that more committers will follow the discussion meaning that your patches will get reviewed (and probably committed) sooner. However, -hackers will get a greater number of opinions and ideas. I would start at -hackers and then make a series proposal (possibly with patches already written) at -arch. Finished patches are best sent via send-pr(1) where they will eventually be addressed (although the response-time for send-pr(1) is regrettably long...) -- Signature withheld by request of author.
