Why bother restructuring, then? Why not just dump the gentoo-dev mailing list entirely and have everyone use the individual project lists that already exist for intra-project communications and have no official facility for inter-project or global issues. This sounds like what you're proposing to me, but I may be mistaken.
Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Not dumping the -dev list entirely, but moving most development stuff that's restricted to a certain area to a list specific to it. For example, we already have -portage-dev, -releng, -desktop et al., although many are underused. We could add a list for each project to have its development on.
This is not artificial, it's based upon the size of groups people can effectively work in. George has posted on this a number of times. I suspect this is a major contributor to the ineffectiveness of -dev recently.
