Agreed, I think multiple lists would be great for everyone else who is not on the Commons PMC; in fact that was a major reason why Commons RDF went to the Incubator first, to have its own mailing lists in the constructive phase.
However it could be very fragmenting for the PMC as there's the danger of developing the "Crypto PMC", "Math PMC" etc - effectively making an Apache within Apache. We should not forget the Jakarta learning either. Perhaps if all PMC members agree to stay on all of the sub-lists, and all release votes are done on dev@commons, then it could work well.
