I'm subscribed to the numpy digest, and I have 8 digest emails from yesterday (27 January), i.e. one single day, sitting in my inbox. These 8 digests represent who knows how many separate emails. If that is not heavy traffic, I really wouldn't know what is! As someone who uses numpy heavily (I manage a large numpy-based software project) but is not a numpy developer, I would very much appreciate having a separate user list. I can't bring myself to unsubscribe from the current list, for fear of not noticing some important new features, related packages, or serious issues, but sorting out those things from the rest of the posts does take significant work. None of my actual developers subscribe any more, as they found the volume of posts overwhelming, so I've sacrificed myself so that I can try to notice anything important and bring it to their attention. Anything that would help that would be greatly appreciated!
