I don't think there is a guideline, but there is tradition (sometimes
not followed) of conventional names for GNU mailing lists, which are:

  info-FOO@gnu.org  help-FOO@gnu.org  bug-FOO@gnu.org  FOO-devel@gnu.org

See https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/ for a list of all GNU
mailing lists.

I agree that such name might feel more =E2=80=9Cnatural=E2=80=9D in some se=
nse.
Nonetheless I don't think it makes sense to break a convention for such
little benefit.

So I encourage everyone to stop following their mood of the day in
regards of choosing a name.  Please!  :)
