While I'm one of those who agrees we need to consolidate more of our lists, I am only in favor of merging similar-functioning. That is, I favor the merge of ambassador + marketing. I am not in favor of merging marketing with project. While there are times when some topics do overlap, in general, the definition of project and marketing are different and -project is much more related to the governance of openSUSE Project. Excessive consolidation will create too much noise, imo, and turn people off. Furthermore, you are posing this question to the marketing list only. If we are proposing to "move into another house", then shouldn't this question also be asked to the -project mailing list? Its only fair that they be asked too. Another thing, don't rely that people will follow a prefix-rule like "Ambassador: <subject-line>." It will never be consistent. And one final thing, some lists, and I believe -marketing is one of them, allow for people to send emails even if they are not subscribed. There are good reasons for that depending on the list's function. (I know artwork and news@ does this.) If we move to -project, do we re-define how people can send mails to -project too? Again, I agree with merging ambassador + marketing. I don't agree with marketing + project. That will be more harm than good.
