As in "list of comments"? I don't think people use that phrase very often.
Also, I think it's too specific and META would have been better.

Just showing my age, I guess.

I think of it as a mailing list, and in particular, was copying the meta tagging usage of the old Extropians list. Probably lots of things would have been better, the first that come to mind are "Forum" or "Forum Software".

META pinged a few neurons, but seemed wrong, as it was used more to apply to comments about other comments or threads, and often moderation issues, but not about the software.
