Until that happens it's usually preferable to have a single list, and
split later if really, really needed.

Here are some thoughts about busy lists that might help (shameless
plug, on my blog but the actual thoughts are not from me):

The "single list with tagged messages" pattern also mentioned by Tarun
in this thread is successfully by OpenStack, see [1] for example - I
think that's a great way to keep a community in a single place while
not wasting people's time. One can scan many thread subject lines
quickly if they use such [tags] and if people stick to one topic per
thread that's very efficient.

The key is to allow people to *process* many messages quickly, while
*reading* just the few that are of interest to them.
