The view from my bike shed (not to make light of Simon initiating this discussion).
I read sage-devel and sage-support on the web. No email. So the amount of traffic is almost totally irrelevant to me. The more the better. Thoughtful, descriptive subject lines would be my only requested enhancement for sage-devel (which is true most of the time). Like Simon, I would dearly love to see more "abstract nonsense" from sage-algebra, sage-nt and sage-combinat-devel appear for a wider sudience on sage-devel. And I wouldn't mind learning more number theory incidentially. I do think sage-combinat-devel serves a second purpose as a place to manage their server, patch queue, etc, but maybe that group would be inclined to move development discussion to sage- devel and keep management on sage-combinat-devel? I think it would be good to move sage-marketing onto sage-devel. The readership has a high intersection, the subject is not incomprehensible (well, on second thought...), and it would be good for the marginally-interested to be aware of efforts and/or resources in this area, and traffic is very low. There is often a temptation to cross-post, witness Jason's recent quarter-page flier. I think of sage-edu as a safe place for *users* with a specialized interest and think it serves a valuable purpose as is. For whatever reason, sage-release strikes me as good use of a standalone list, and I could imagine sysadmins using it like a sage-announce on steroids - early warnings of new releases. It wouldn't bother me if it morphed into a sage-build, but the previous point about sage-windows being useful in the future is well-taken. Thanks to Simon for starting this. OK, time to take one of my bikes out of the shed (garage) for a ride...
