It is also an un-unsubscribtion mailing list. Has anybody managed to unsubscribe from this mailing list

First, it is true with any craft, but especially with technology, that we must always be willing to change when better ways come along. Otherwise we stagnate and fade away. So if I would be more productive using these other tools it would be wise for me to consider using them. However, I can't imagine I would be more productive by having to open an RSS reader to follow "the other stuff". As it is I glance at my email several times a day and read what I can and delete the rest (similar to James' approach). I would actually be *less* productive if that involved opening up another reader. The end result is that I'd probably not read the commits, wiki updates, and tickets. Then I would lose track with what's going on and fade away. I'm ok with multiple lists. I tend to subscribe once and stay subscribed. I could potentially be subscribed from this email address for the rest of my life :-) If that supports both ways, then cool. You guys have made some good points about the WW merger being a merger of communities not just code. To that end I think there should be compromise on both sides to merge the communities and get them working together. However I think one should expect movement on the ASF side to be slower and more incremental because we're talking about the whole ASF not just Struts. The other side of that coin is that I hope the WW people will bring these new ideas to the table and eventually institute change for the better. Just be aware that this is a slow-moving train. That pace is one of the things I enjoy about the ASF. I can go away for a while and when I come back things will likely be in a state where I can jump back into familiar territory. I, for one, will try to embrace the new ideas, but it will take a lot of time. I'd much rather be working on Tiles than figuring out new ways of keeping up with the discussions :-) +1 for the incremental approach Ted (I think) proposed.
