Yet the DMD group doesn't get them anymore, and no one is 
complaining (loud enough).

GitHub traffic is going to stay on GitHub. The dev group(s) are 
only going to get what's currently ending up in General.

More like:

- Development (about everything under github.com/dlang, replacing 
the DMD, Druntime, and Phobos groups)
- Language Design
- General

Though I wouldn't mind separate groups for the github.com/dlang 
stuff. I just don't think they're exactly necessary.

But I do think that the GitHub thing needs to be turned off if we 
want to use the groups for discussion.

I prefer "General" over "Other", because
1) that's what it's called now. Less disruption is better. And
2) "Other" sounds like it's for borderline off-topic stuff, which 
the group isn't.
