The bzr developers are considering splitting their Mailman list into a -dev and a -user list, but they don't like that because they feel it would split their community in an undesirable way. So the proposal is to create a [codereview] topic which gets workflow-related posts (nitty-gritty coding style comments as well as automatically generated messages from a patch queue manager). Most users aren't going to be interested in these, but will be interested in bug reports and their resolutions, and in design discussions, which will not get an explicit topic. So many users would like to select *only* messages *without* explicit topic. The quoted post claims that appears to be impossible. Seems like a bug to me, either in the topic feature (if it *is* impossible) or in the page template documenting usage.
JAM pinged me in private irc and he's going to try to create a dummy topic which users can subscribe to to essentially filter out the codereview tags. It's a bit tricky because you have to create a negative regexp that's narrower than .* for the dummy topic.
I think underneath the u/i it might not be difficult to support a "don't subscribe to this topic" setting. That's something for 2.2 though, as I think it's a new feature.
