There is another example of a mailing list where technical discussion, commit 
messages, 
bug reports and all kinds (trolls, phishing posts, spam) happens.

it's LKML, fwiw. And yes, there is general one, and there are ones dedicated to 
arm, to vm,
mm, subsystems, you want it you name it it probably is there. There is even 
kernelnewbies 
mailing list too. But they have an organization with full time admins hired to 
keep it readable.

The difference is Laz/FPC vs Linux kernel is workflow AND manpower...

I can perfectly understand why Laz/FPC don't want to mix it all together, it is 
at the stage
and in the world where you need a team of ml admins with knowledge to keep a ml 
from being
spammed to death.

FPC/Laz devs have enough work as is, so they need this 'fence' around their 
playground, even
if it seems a bit rigid to us outside it.
