I (as one of the moderators) don't have a strong view on this
for this special case, but would actually recommend to use
R-devel (or even R-help) for this, rather than R-package-devel,
because the latter is indeed quite focused (with a somewhat different
focus).
And yes, for the specific, I'd strongly recommend R-SIG-HPC (in
addition, i.e., with the very rare case of sensible cross posting).
Best regards,
Martin
