Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are different languages per se (caution: we are not dealing with different dialects here). >From my experience in the Fedora translation community, separate lists are the way to go. BTW, in the Localization arena (i18n-related projects) we got a master list, fedora-trans-list at redhat.com, for discussing overall translation issues in English, and also localized lists, like fedora- trans-pt_BR at redhat.com (for Brazilian Portuguese) for local matters. More details at: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/translations/ It has been working well and I do recommend this approach for the users lists.
