Are you referring to linux-newbie?
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-newbie
If so, yes. It's empty and quiet.

Well, the key piece is having a few experienced maintainers active on
the list. That doesn't seem to be the case on linux-newbie. Also,
linux-newbie doesn't seem to be kernel-specific.
We could address new users not knowing about it with a script. Any
[PATCH] posts to a mailing list where the sender is a miss in the git
history bounces the email to the kernel-mentor list.
In case it wasn't obvious, I'd be willing to be one of those mentors if
I had a few others to rotate lead with.
thx,
Jason.
