Yes, those are two other ML. devuan-announce is strictly for announcements.

devuan-discuss is an email interface with the Devuan discourse forum. There is very little activity to date.

There are the IRC channels but they also wander quite a bit as does DNG.

I personally find that the DNG ML has more technical discussion than any of the other options.
