I think this is a real problem and I would be supportive of
consolidating all of the discussion into one list. We either exclude
people by sending to one list or, like this email, we include all lists
and everybody gets three copies.

Too often in the past topics have been discussed on the dev list
without reflecting any of the discussion back to the user list,
keeping a large part of the community in the dark. Now that we have a
distinct list for proton there is the possibility of yet more
fragmentation.
I honestly believe that we would be better off with just one list for
discussions. I think there will increasingly be issues that cross-cut
different components or that would benefit from wider participation.
Not all topics will be of interest to all subscribers, but that is
always going to be the case.
It doesn't seem to me like any of the lists are so high in volume that
this would cause significant problems. More rigorous use of subject
could help people filter if needed. (JIRA and commit notices I think
do warrant their own lists allowing a lot of the 'noise' to be avoided
if so desired).
Any other thoughts on this? Does anyone have fears of being deluged
with unwanted emails?
