The list would be focused on contributor issues, although, as I mentioned before, it will be an open list that anyone can subscribe to. A few examples of topics that I would consider appropriate for this list are:
Determining and announcing code freeze dates Determining what we should prioritize as a group for the next release Discussing opportunities for reuse in the development or refactoring of 2 or more components Project team formation for larger initiatives etc. . . In general, any topics that are important to ZF contributors that are broader in scope than one component or initiative (much of that discussion should happen in the proposal comments) would be fair game. I'd imagine that some non-contributors might be interested in what is said on this list, but all non-lurkers should be actively contributing or planning to contribute in some way. This list would not replace any existing list; it is intended as an entirely new channel of communication.

If its focus is indeed that narrow then a general development list would go with it nicely - one of the problems we have as contributors is encouraging feedback and comment from the community.
