Is there a kernel list dedicated to discussion of block devices?

What's to discuss? There probably isn't enough ongoing traffic to support a separate mailing list (we got too many of them as it is :) MAINTAINERS says: BLOCK LAYER M: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git S: Maintained F: block/ Which basically boils down to "ask linux-kernel and/or kernelnewbies if you don't understand, and cc: Jens if you managed to break it" :)
