I?ve configure some filters in my email client to move some emails according to the topic in OpenStack, but even this common practice everyone has their own preference[1]

Our largest communities have major cross-posting problems along with new people regularly informing us that they don't know where to send things because of having too many lists. As such, I can't express how strongly I recommend only breaking out a specific topic to a separate list _iff_ it proves to cause too much traffic on the general list. As Aimee pointed out OpenStack, which is a community larger than our largest community, doesn't do what you're talking about. They use topics on their lists precisely to get around the mailing list explosion of a list per project that you're suggesting. -Andy- -- Andrew J Grimberg Lead, IT Release Engineering The Linux Foundation
