I'm not aware of an standards per se.  An "-l" suffix is moderately
common, as is an "l" prefix.  "-l" derives from the old BITNET lists
IIRC.  Suffixes of "-misc", "-talk", "-dev"/"-developers", "-users",
"-advocacy" etc are also fairly common if unlikely to suit your
needs.

<shrug> I'd likely go with the "-l" suffix.  Its minimal, easily
recognised, and doesn't polute your namespace/cause likely sites of
name collisions.
