Personally I don't care. I have filters set up and if we would do the much,
I'd simply subscribe to all MLs.
I agree that it seems to be a problem for some that the ML has so much
traffic. So we should think about this.

There are two questions for me:

- What about commits@ and issues@? Do we simply route commits and issues to
the component MLs or do we want to have separate commit MLs on a per
component basis?
- How do we want to manage the transition? I think the process we choose
for the git migration is a good one. If a component decides it needs a
separate ML, they can simply request one. All other components simply stay
on dev@ For example I don't see much value in creating a
primit...@comons.apache.org ML, simply because there is so low activity
right now.

Regards,
Benedikt
