I'm also not thrilled with this new list.  I've seen a few attempts to
create specialized lists for small communities in the past and they've
never worked out.  At best, nobody subscribed.  At worst, they caused
confusion and redundancy, making it look like an issue had died when
in fact it had moved to another list.

IMHO this kind of thing is only necessary when a community grows too
large for a single list, like, say, Linux users or Java programmers.
We aren't there yet (unfortunately).

But hey, it's a free internet, so best of luck.
Cheers,
