A higher-level API questions group would be helpful to folks like me who use the API but are nowhere skilled enough to contribute to the library.  Question like mine would only clutter up the important discussions of the libcamera-devel list.

First of all sorry for the long delay. We discussed it this idea, but
then with travel and conferences we forgot to reply. Sorry about this
and thanks for the suggestion

Can you elaborate a bit on what are the main concerns on using the
regular mailing list ? Is the patch traffic annoying for users in your
opinion ? Is it to get better visibility of user questions ?

Apart from creating a separate mailing list, which we are a bit
concerned will have few subscribers and will then have less people
interested in replying, have you considered alternatives ? We could
use issues on the freedesktop libcamera gitlab mirror or even consider
a forum or an online platform ? Do you have preferences ?

Thanks and sorry again
