Why is it a good idea? That's what mail filters are for. With filters, you can create as many folders as you like, and treat them as separate lists. You can even auto delete the messages that you are not interested in.
IETF Announce is just fine- it has existed for years in its current form. Splitting the list on one complain doesn't make much sense at all, all Pete need to do is to take help from someone who can define filters on his system.
