I agree with Jani. With xubuntu-users list we can have a situation when
people are asking questions but no one answers them. I think that as
soon as the number of user related questions on xubuntu-development
becomes substantial to justify a separate list we should go for it.

I agree that it would be bad to have too many unanswered questions on a xubuntu-user mailing list, but I don't think we'd want to gauge user interest by how many user-related questions are sent to this developer mailing list.  

I know that there have been a couple of emails from users on here that have gotten a polite form of the response, "this is developer mailing list . . . ."   Surely this would discourage regular users from sending more user-related questions here.  

Maybe a better way to check would be to gauge interest in the IRC channel.  Publicizing the existence of the user mailing list (in some way shape or form) would also help get it off the ground.  Maybe we could put a news blurb on 
xubuntu.org and get a note about it included in the Ubuntu newsletter that gets created every week or so . . .
