I take issue with Benson's assertion that there are not enough people to support any one of the individual projects. I can't speak for the other lists, but XML-RPC was serving its small interest group very well. Merging it into this monstrosity will eventually drive people to unsub thereby losing what was working well.
Doing such a thing without troubling to inquire is sheer hubris.

Lars,

This is a dev list for an Apache project that hosts several small
modules. There are not enough developers involved in any one of the
individual projects to support independent mailing lists. No one here
is 'professional'. We are all volunteers. If you are not interested in
our internal developmental deliberations, then you are welcome to
stick to the user list, which will be much lighter in traffic.

Best Regards
Benson Margulies

Hi

I originally signed up for the XML-RPC mailing list because that was the
project that was and still is interesting to me. In the last couple of days
however I have been bombarded with SPAM from all kinds of Apache projects
that I am not interested in at all. At some point someone asked if it was a
mistake to merge the Apache mailing lists and a couple of people replied
that they actually  think that it indeed was a big mistake and that was it,
no action whatsoever.
So my question is very simple, is there some professional person that can
see that it was a very bad idea to merge the mailing lists and is willing to
undo this mistake, or do we people that don't what our mailboxes filled-up
with unrelated SPAM, have to unsubscribe?
And Lawrence, was there any point in your message asking if it was a
mistake?

We left the Muse lists alone for right now.  Did we reach a concensus to
archive Muse?  I wasn't 100% possitive so we left those alone for right
now.
