Closing WP-l, perhaps the oldest and most-subscribed list, while leaving a
hundred other unused lists
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Overview>, is not sensible.

Instead, we might close all lists with <10 non-administrative messages over
the past year, and leave a single [wiki*-l] list, per language, with
broader scope.  Which scope should include "any topics not covered in other
lists", including topics related to wikipedia.
