Just my 2 c.:

Having multiple mailing lists isn't to be seen as separate users from
developers. It has to be seen as separate topics.

In my view even more than 2 ml are ok, something like:

1- ml dev
1- ml general
1- ml announces
1- ml translations/localization
1- ml users
1- ml governance
1- ml graphics
1- ml infrastructure
1- ml legal

all of those open to anyone, without restriction on WHO can join, but
with restriction on WHAT can be considered in topic and what not.

This is the same as a single forum where you have multiple arguments
where there are different threads for any argument.

If anyone is interested in all, can join all ml.

I strongly prefer ml over forums, and, personally, i will not partecipate regulary in
any forum ( i don't find myself confortable with them ), anyway, it's ok
if the is something that connect bidirectionally forum and ml as long as
i can use the "ml" side as it can be used as a common ml.

Also, my partecipation in *this* ml is low CAUSE of the high noise
level, but this IS a generic discussion ml, so, it's absolutely expected
and normal that there is such noise, so, no complain about that.
