an offtopic list would need to come with a lot more moderation here then.
Are the -devel and -docs lists moderated?
A reason I suggest -tech is that it's usually fairly clear when a question isn't technical but either social or political (eg. advocacy).
OTOH, I don't think the technical traffic is high enough to warrant separate software and hardware lists (as would be the case with the generic Linux newsgroups).
