Often I have struck a problem, and been given advice from committers on quite different projects.
So an additional common list - which forwards to all the separate ones - is still a good idea.

Every email is supposed to contain the name of the subproject in square-brackets, eg [foo] why did the chicken cross the road? so that filtering is reasonably easy to do.
Would it be possible to set up the svn commit mails to include this in *the beginning* of the subject line? As I said, all my e-mail client shows is (for example) "svn commit: r169326 -".

Getting messages that aren't associated with a particular project could be done by simply filtering *out* the projects you aren't interested in rather than filtering *in* the ones you are.
Yes, that is probably the best idea. "if subject contains '[uninteresting-project]' or '/proper/uninteresting-project/' move to Trash".
Still does not help on the unclassified issue mails though.

I suspect some of the less active lists may be so primarily because few people care about those projects enough to wade through all the projects they don't care about. Having separate lists might help the smaller communities to grow a bit.
That is a point. The volume of the dev-list might actually make people reluctant to subscribing to it at all.

A forum is a whole different story than a mailing list.

But for those, it's often a lot harder to tell whether this is interesting for you without opening the e-mail (especially since my mail client insists on truncating the subject after "svn commit: rNNNNNN -"...)In fact sometimes I dive into those mails to learn.
In that case, subscribe to them all!
