Separate lists per-device (and per-distro) has been discussed and
dismissed previously. The general consensus is to push for topic-aware
subjects like [GTA01] or [debian].
I agree. There are so many things that are common to all devices.
All fixes, releases, updates and workarounds for software that makes
generic use of gps, speaker and display - for example.
It'd be sad having to wade through both gta01 list, gta02 list and gta03
list to find an obscure but nifty speedup trick for enlightenment, just
because the hacker only subscribe to the list for his own phone.
A new list may be justified if they make a very different device, so
that there is very little software overlap. Any linux phone with a
display will be able to use most of the same sw though - even if they
change processor architecture and the rest of the hardware. You just
recompile the apps and they have the same issues still.
