I’m finding harder to follow the ZF development specific post in the
general mailing list because it got busier with end-support. In the
other hand the others mailing lists are almost not used and forwarded to
fw-general most of the time.

I feel like 2 mailing list will be enough :
* fw-general for end-users
* fw-dev for ZF development.

I agree. Two lists, one for end-user support/general questions and one
specifically for ZF developers (contributors & people interested in the
direction of ZF) would be better until there is enough activity to
warrant splitting them up further.

+1 on this from me.

I subscribe to the Django mailing lists which are setup this way and I thought the same thing when I realised I was finding them easier to follow, even without being a Django developer. In the early days of ZF the split of mailing lists around components was fine as they were almost all development based discussions. Now there is such a mix of how-to questions with development discussions that it's quite a trudge to keep up with the latter.

As newer components like Zend_Form came out things got messier as development and how-to questions were scattered across fw-general AND fw-mvc (on that note: I was impressed with how well Matthew kept up with them in that regard!). The discussions about Zend_Tool are another example of how this problem can only increase.
