Well, +1 (non-binding) from my side (if it wasn't clear from my email ). I agree that anyone following the dev list will have a chance to sign-up for the new list, basically that's all old users have to do. Maybe delete/modify some filters. And anyone "semi-following" the ZK thread, I figure doing nothing (not signing up for the new list) is fine, as they are mostly interested in user emails, votes etc., and those email will remain in the current list.
But of course I can only speak for myself, and this sounds like a good idea to me.
