hmmm... well, a lot of people seem to want to keep them together... and
others don't.  i don't care, much, and i think there's a compromise:

keep one list, but with standardized subject line flags for people who
want to sort (or even interesting headers).  upon successful subscription,
send a list info document that gives a quick introduction to list
standards, including a nice, explicitly welcoming, non-threatening, "check
the docs then ask your question" section right at the top.  this should
also detail the sorting convention.

this way, people that don't want to deal with newbie questions can filter,
people that don't want to deal with dev can filter, and people that want
everything don't have to do anything, preserving status quo for the lazy
like me.

can the list management software do this?
