Do you have the same feelings for [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems to me that members@ is akin to a community-dev list, while community@ is akin to a community-users list. Any reason to keep members@ should exist for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I agree that MS Patent stuff is boring and unnecessary on a community list. Go read groklaw. However, discussions on whether a python community should exist seem to be perfectly designed for the community list (unless they cross-post to all python interested mailing lists), as it pertains to the future of how Apache balances itself. ie) a wide-base of projects with various vertical technology communities.
