Thank you!
FWIW, the ietf-announce list had 4717 subscribers (some of which are
sublists, news gateways and the like) - so any category where you get more
than 400 subscribers is probably proof positive that a "market" exists for
a special list for that category.
Looking forward to seeing what happens...
