This has been on my todo list for too long anyway:
http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-project

Please announce that list on x2go-announcements, would you?

No, post such stuff on x2go-project at lists.x2go.org (NEW). The x2go-dev  
list should not be bothered with project organization. Neither should  
we expect, people being interested in organizational stuff and events,  
digging around in all the BTS messages and development postings.

+1 from me on the above. We need to put a highlighted page onto the  
wiki explaining the above procedure (including modifications that come  
in with more feedback to your post, Stefan).
