Dain is wise beyond his years. Keep the number of lists small.

One thing I hear recommended over and over again by the opensource
old timers, it to keep the number of mailing lists down. They
suggest that you keep as much traffic on a list until people start
to complain and then split. The split becomes a positive event, and
if you never split then you end up with more people reviewing
suggestions (and hopefully more people involved in the code). In
the case of this project, I think merging into a bigger list would
be a positive development.
I don't have strong feelings on this... just wanted to relay what
has been pounded into my thick skull over the years :)
