fine with me, but I think it's important to understand why we did it in 
the first
place.

dev could stand for development or developer, but there is huge 
difference between these
two terms. development is a topic and developer is a group.

The mailing list is about the topic development and NOT about the group 
developer.

Very important to know and understand!

This is why we used the whole word "development" to make this clear.
