I think these would be helpful, and most of the proposals seem to
also. Is there anyone who would disagree with this as a next step ? NB
it's -rdb rather than -db to differentiate from zope-zodb. (I would
spell them zope-rdb & zope-newbies).

Alternatively or in addition I would also enjoy Jerome's approach of
subject tags on the zope-list; I think "voluntary and encouraged"
would work better. If this went well might we want to consider
re-merging some lower-traffic lists ? (!) :)

(because you don't want an overlap between eg zope:[ZEO] & zope-zeo.)
