Not on a user mailinglist for sure. All Xiph-related mailinglists can be 
found here: http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo

I think trying the vorbis-dev or flac-dev mailinglist would be better, 
because this list is not read by many. Because VorbisComments are part 
of the Vorbis spec, I think the vorbis-dev mailinglist would be best.

I am curious how you tried to fix this, I guess not by defining fields 
like 'ViolinPlayer' or something. For classical music, important 
musicians (like a conductor, soloist etc.) are usually mentioned via the 
album-field, see for example: 
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/History:Classical_Style_Guide That's an 
option as well, instead of defining new fields. We have the 
performer-field as well, I would think of something like: violin: 
SomeGuy viola: someoneelse.

Good luck
