m3devel was created for developers of M3 and developers using M3.
It's a rather technical group. You need to subscribe to it to be able
to post.

m3-support is (currently) an Elego-internal list of M3-capable
users willing to help anybody running into problems with the system.
It is basically just a sendmail alias as far as I know, so everybody
can freely send mail to it. There is no archive of the mails (or I
don't know of it).

m3-support is used on all the M3 WWW pages.
