I agree. What will happen when we split the list in others is that instead
of one list not being read by the developers, three are not read by the
developers.

There are already so many mailing lists for openSUSE that it becomes hard
to select which one. Ignoring a subject is very easily done.
And with the amount of differnt mailinglists, you force people to
subscribe to many of them anyway.

As a user it is anoying that if you go somewhere people tell you all the
time: you should go the KDE list and there they say: that is packaging and
then they say: Factory.

I am also amazed by the fact that some developers do not read any of the
openSUSE mailinglist at all and at the same time complain that there is no
feedback from users.
