Totally make sense. Bertrand bootstrapped the project by creating the very first mailing lists, up to the PPMC to decide if some other lists are needed, and to create them. A few thing to remember : - each list will have to be moderated. Don't forget to ask for at least 3 moderators (from different TZ, covering at least EU and US, ideally Asia) for each of those lists - the more lists you have, the more spam you'll get ;-) At some point, it's an annoyance to have to moderate those spams (even if The ASF spam system is *REALLY* efficient - we don't receive spam at all. I really mean it... - you will receive a few moderator requests every day per mailing list. You just have to ignore them, but you still have to look at them. - users are frequently cross-posting (yeah, I now, bad, bad, bad...). It simply happens, so be prepared to deal with that - when user aren't cross posting, they post on te wrong mailing list. The more mailing lists you have, the more you'll get mails on the wrong mailing lists... - from time to tim, you will get a mail from an angry user who complain that he/she receives unsollicited mails. Typically, this is someone who subscribed to many mailing list, unsibscribed from some of them, but not all of them. Good luck to manage their un-subscription if you have a lot of mailing lists ;-) I guess you know all that, but just in case...
