[OWW-SC] [OWW-Discuss] merge discuss and sc list?

[Mackenzie Cowell]

I second this idea.
I was completely clueless about the discuss list until this afternoon, when
austin made incidental comment about an email he had sent to it.  I don't
think there is a good practical reason to keep them separated at this point.
 We can always reestablish an SC list if there are lots of SC-only topics
that would otherwise pollute the discuss list.
