[development] Proposal: Move all dev support off this list to new StackExchange site

[Randy Fay]

OK, I have another proposal:

Let's move all non-support (announcements to developers primarily, or policy
discussion, that sort of thing) off this mailing list and onto a Developers
group on Groups.drupal.org, where only announcement-type material is posted.
That way those who want to use this as a support list can do so, and those
who want to use StackExchange and other venues can do so, but everybody
knows where non-support things of interest to developers are announced.

And perhaps we could change the name of this mailing list to devel-support.
