Was it hardware overload that took the lists down?  Or software overload
at lists with too much traffic?

Perhaps it might make sense to segment the cooker list.  Have
cooker-kde, cooker-gnome, and cooker-apache in addition
to a general cooker list.  Users who have no interest in running Apache
can decide not to subscribe to cooker-apache but instead get a daily
digest, and so forth.  Fred Crozat could then spend most of his time on
the cooker-gnome list and ignore the KDE list.  Developers who only work
on Apache can stick to that list.
