I'm not sure what is hard about filtering and sorting based on "to [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]"
and "from jira.a.o" exactly. My own filters are working just fine right
now...

My understanding is that that will happen, or is already happening, without
any changes to the way the mailing lists work today...

I propose that we do the following:

Based on my comments above, I actually see zero reason to change anything.
However, if it's something people want, for whatever reason, I won't
vehemently oppose it.

I will, however, point out that it breaks the mantra we so often repeat
about all changes being visible on the dev@ list. It also allows for
committers - and, more importantly, PMC members - to opt out of seeing what
goes on throughout the project, which is definitely A Bad Idea (TM) in my
opinion.
