The problem here, the way I see it, is that the traffic in zope
is so high, that most people simply can't have time to read all
messages and just skim over by subject. Me included.

If we have three or four lists with more specific topics, their
traffic would (hopefully) be in a reasonable limit so that
people could read proportionally more messages and so less
questions would go unanswered;

Also, the lists would have more focus - a list dedicated to
communication with external databases would gather all the
experts we have in this area, and so on.
