Hi Bertrand,

For me it looks as if tech@ would be one huge list ... 
and the amount of emails of interest to me would be only a fraction.
Having named topic lists would help focus. 
It would allow to skim the topics and react on the ones of interest.

Guess a tech-list would just feel like being on one of those project lists,
Here they do most discussions in guthub pull-requests and who's mailinglists 
have almost no emails of interest anymore or I just can't find them in 
between 10000000 of bot emails.

    Allow me to insist ;-)
    
    What's wrong with an [iot] subject line tag on a [email protected] mailing 
list?
    
    The problem with single-topic lists is that discussions are rarely
    single-topic: if you have a question about memory leaks in Java in a
    Docker image that runs in an iot context, and we have multiple
    java|docker|memorymanagement|iot lists, where are you going to post?
    
    Cross-posting is ugly...writing to [email protected] with
    [java][memory][docker][iot] subject line tags will work, and having a
    single list will help get critical mass about "the place where Apache
    community members discuss cross-cutting technical issues".
    
    But whoever does the work decides...
