No, randomly changing mainline list names will confuse the thousands of 
people that are not confused.  Better to ask them why they thought this 
list was a good idea, and then track down the root of the problem, and 
then fix that.  In the past when I did it, it could be traced to people 
telling them, or to the web site directly.

For example, we could completely remove all references to the gcc 
mailing list from the web site, and invite people after the post a 
single good patch to gcc-help.  :-)  Or, maybe just put it on a page 
called contributing work to gcc.  Most using gcc that just want help 
would not even go to such a page.
