I'd like to propose that additional mailing lists are created to split up the traffic more, particularly on the "general" list. I'd also like to see the names of the lists change as indicated below.
In general, I think this is a bad idea. Topics have a way of crossing finely-drawn boundaries like these, and besides most of us now have good mail-reading software that can easily organize mail by topic and thread. This makes it easy to follow the threads and topics you want while ignoring the ones you don't want.
My observation is that when a list splits, one usually ends up bearing all the traffic while the others go unused. Even worse, people start cross-posting to all the lists. So nothing is really accomplished.
