+1 from me, my only concern is how to make sure important information is not kept solely on dev-de (important may also be hints about how to compile etc). I see a heavy burden on the moderators to ensure that this happens.
It depends on the focus, but from Joerg's initial description, the new list would help "distinguish general user questions from specific discussions among the project members", so the structure seems very similar to the two mailing lists in Italian (one for users/support, one for volunteers/coordination/discussions). Moderation is easy in this case.
I assume that developer-oriented questions, like building OpenOffice, despite the name "dev-de", are likely to be forwarded to this list. In general, I confirm Joerg's impression that native-lang lists do not discuss these topics in general. For sure I don't see this happening on the mailing lists in Italian: people use this list or the API list.
