A data point:  I had forgotten that dspace-general even existed, since
it wasn't visible at SF, until it was recently mentioned on
dspace-devel.  Housing all of the lists together sounds good to me.
(OTOH the SF list archive navigation tools are awful!)

Um, dspace-admin sounds like "for discussion of administration of
DSpace installations".  That's certainly not what a commit list is
for.  ???

A particular problem with chats is that there is no record of any
progress made there unless someone is logging.  May I suggest that, in
any chat, when consensus or other significant progress is reached,
there be a call for a volunteer to write up a summary thereof and post
it to a mailing list or the wiki, so that it can be referred back to
later or discovered by those not present in the chat.
