I disagree. I'd rather have normal users answering clueless
newbie posts rather than you or other people reading bug-lilypond.

Mao, the current website isn't *me*-friendly enough.

I don't support hijacking info-lilypond, but I halfway support a
lilypond-beginner list. I promise to never read it, thereby
saving numerous beginners from the horror of my accurate RTFM
posts. However, I'd be tempted to check it from time to time, in
case anything interesting was happening.
To save us all from that, it would be great if there was some
enthusiastic person who liked to read half a dozen mailists, who
could write weekly or biweekly summaries of anything interesting
that happened on those mailists. That way we'd all know if we
missed anything good. These messages -- we could even go so far
as to call them "reports" -- could also keep the less-active
members of the community informed. Of course, if these stop
coming after a few months, we won't have gained anything.
Cheers,
