I think that splitting things all the way down to $arch is probably not useful in that things that affect all backends will not get addressed promptly if backend reviewers are so narrowly focused. I would, however, be amenable to a gcc-backend list, and lets say a strong suggestion that all messages to that list have [$arch] or [all] as a subject line prefix. Unless I miss the purpose of these lists? r~
