[admin] Split the list (was RE: Split the list ?)
I've thought about it, but I think that it's a bit premature. Why?
Because I think that once we fracture the list traffic, we lose a lot of
the intermixing that's important.
I think once we have a lot more VM traffic, it makes perfect sense.
However, I think that as an intermediate step though we should all work
very hard to tag our subject lines with a [topic] :)

+1. We could also give some common-used topic list. e.g., [classlib],
[admin], etc.
Maybe we already have them in place. ;-)

I'll add my vote to using the [topic] markers. This works well for other
Apache projects like Jakarta Commons. I think they've split of some separate
mailing lists, but this was based on the sheer volume for certain projects.
I'd also add using the [topic] markers in subject line of JIRA issues too,
but that may not be everyone's liking.

I agree with Geir. It's a good idea to keep classlib and vm people
aware of what the others are doing. Sometimes, issues that might seem
unrelated by classlib or vm people might actually affect the other
group. I much prefer the suggested [topic] approach.
