I've noticed that, too.  I just took a look at the LilyPond home page. 
I clicked on the "About" link and saw references to the different lists. 
 Maybe the first item listed there shouldn't be "Questions or 
comments?" Maybe an entry called "Need help?" would be more likely to 
send folks to the -user list.  Maybe a "Need help?" link on the main 
page directing newcomers to -user would help.
