We had this discussion a few times during the past Buildroot meetings, and our position is that in terms of Buildroot, the boundary between "user" and "developer" is clearly not as clear-cut as for many other programs. Indeed, a user very often needs to add his own packages (either to package his own custom applications/libraries, or to package open-source applications/libraries that are not yet in Buildroot), which makes this user almost immediately a developer. For this reason, we've chosen to keep the entire discussions on one list. So feel free to ask your user-level questions on this list. We also have an IRC channel, #buildroot on Freenode, on which you can very often get live help. Many of the participants are based in Europe, but I see you're in the UK, so in terms of timezone it should match pretty well.
