Personally I am -0.5 on the idea of doing away with commits@. First, it will never go away, all of that history in the list will have to be preserved for posterity. Second, it's something of a design pattern at the ASF - virtually every project has commits@ and it's almost an expectation. There are also many places that assume a commits@ exist.
Then let's keep it ;-) As far as I am aware, dev@ is not subscribed to the list in any case, so it's not actually contributing to the mail load on dev@ anyway.
@David: do you any thoughts or similar reservations about issues@, i.e. the proposal to replace it with the more general notifications@ @mentors: is there any easy way for us to determine the membership of the various mailing lists..?
