any recommendations for mailing lists devoted to linux programming?

You can try "comp.lang.c" at Google Groups.
p.s. my interest was particularly in the library call strtoul() to translate a string to an unsigned long, and extending that to handle suffixes for kibi-bytes and mebi-bytes, as in 4Ki or 8Mi, which i think would be enormously useful. well, ok, it would be useful for *me*.
You can try the function strpbrk putting "KMGkmg" (for example) as the string accept (see "man 3 strpbrk").
