Attached is a little diagram of how I think of the mailing list
membership.
I don't believe there's anything official about how they're set
up, but
you'll still possibly miss info if you're not on a higher-level
mailing
list. I'd also *like* to make that view of the mailing lists
official, in
the future.

Most of the discuss list (recently, at least) is about stuff I don't
care about [...] [and] there have been 48 messages in March alone.
If you would like me (and I assume many of us) to subscribe to the
discuss list, it needs to be about things of general interest
I agree with all of this. Specifically:
1) The umbrella list should be low-traffic.
2) The umbrella list should be about things that are relevant to
*everybody* who cares about snowdrift.coop.
3) The recent stuff about meetings and governance/operations needs
its own list.
I will endeavor to post less frequently to the discuss list, until we
have a better solution.
An update! We found an old, hidden mailing list that was no longer in
use: t...@lists.snowdrift.coop. It has been re-purposed into an open
but moderated list for operational discussions, including meetings,
governance (Holacracy), and project management. This should cut down
significantly on the amount of traffic on the discuss mailing list, and
the traffic that remains should be more relevant to anyone interested
in Snowdrift.coop -- for example, it's where we announced that we have
moved our wiki [0], ticketing system [1], and git repo [2] to new
locations.
I hope this makes the discuss list more appealing to be signed up for,
which will in turn make it a more useful place to have universally
relevant conversations.
Cheers,
Stephen
