Well, IMO the real problem with the Fedora lists is not signal/noise it's "miss communication", primarily caused by people not getting mails, because * they can't be subscribed to all lists. * they don't know were to post to. * cross-posting. * some lists are closed * "reply-to's being tweaked ... So instead of inventing new lists, I would suggest to redefine/reconsider the purpose of existing lists and to close down several of them.
