Yes, many people are confused by this. So maybe I am wrong in choosing
to use the john-users list for more things than many others feel it is
appropriate for. However, I think it is important that john-users
alone, without john-dev, worked well for us up until the point where we
started to discuss source code changes in detail, with code snippets and
patches included. (In fact, even some of the patches were appropriate
for end-users.) I prefer to err on the side of keeping discussions on
john-users more rather than less advanced.
I think simply announcing where a new and relevant Open Source project
is located, including the source code, is john-users material. More so
than john-dev, at least.

No, both are john-users material.
"not related to John The Ripper itself" could make the posting off-topic
for either list, but if we choose to post anyway, then john-users is
more appropriate. This does not make the posting too advanced for
john-users while keeping it OK for john-dev.

Thank you!
