If you do it like that... a couple of things would be nice:

a) Make the cooker mailing list filter out messages that are CC'ed to
a bug mailing list.  Right now we're getting some duplicates because of
these CC'ed messages.  

b) Make the bug mailing list closed, i.e. only bugzilla can post to it.
This encourages/forces users to post things related to the bugs back to
bugzilla.  Possibly have an autoreply for anyone that tries to send to
the bug list telling them to post their bug/comment via Bugzilla with
instructions on how to do so.

You have to keep the bug list closed because if you don't then people
will have to subscribe to the bugs list just to be sure not to miss some
comment on the bug they are watching.  Which defeats the whole point of
splitting things up, making it so people only have to get the things
they are really interested in.

c) Disallow bug reports on the cooker list.  If we allow people to post
bug reports on this list then we're back where we were before.  People
end up having to search the mailing list archives to see if the problem
has come up before...  Anytime someone posts a bug report on here our
refrain should be "Please post all bug reports to Bugzilla."

d) Finally update the documentation explaining where to post bugs to be
correct.  If you don't do that then nobody is going to understand what
they should be doing and it will be chaos.
