I disagree - busy mailing lists are good if well managed. Using [translation], [testing] and similar tags in message subjects. As a shameless but IMO useful plug, see my blog post at [1] for a more detailed explanation based on Stefano Mazzocchi's "busy list pattern". As for people in charge, the PPMC is in charge of such things, and if only a subset of it is interested in translations, for example, getting votes for those people, while others abstain, is good enough to make progress, no need to appoint specialists. If such topics become too noisy on this list the project *might* decide to split lists, but splitting from the start is totally wrong IMO, as you'd split community and create an "us and them" mindset which is not good. In summary, I think working groups can form right here and now, based on [tags] and people doing stuff. -Bertrand [1] http://grep.codeconsult.ch/2011/12/06/stefanos-mazzocchis-busy-list-pattern/
