There's a third option -- instead of migrating the alsa-devel list, we can migrate all activity to linux-sound@vger.kernel.org. It's an existing list that currently sees about 5 messages a year (and most of them are cc'd to alsa-devel anyway).
That would definitely work well from my point of view.
Okay, since it doesn't really affect anything, I've reconfigured the patchwork side of things to accept patches sent both to alsa-devel and linux-sound. If you do want to go down the route of shifting everything towards linux-sound, the next step (once everyone is in agreement), is to make the changes to MAINTAINERS. You don't have to do all subsystems at once, you can start with the SOUND subsystem to trial things out and then shift others if everything is working correctly.
If it's an overall agreement, we can move the driver related threads and the patch handling to linux-sound mailing list and keep alsa-devel list for the user space packages and the project related discussions. I'll send an initial patch for MAINTAINERS ASAP.
