This seems very sensible to me. When I first started on OpenStack I was
quite surprised *all* the diverse projects were jammed into one list
with no easy way to filter what you're working on as a developer.

After joining openstack-dev my email load has ballooned and it's
seriously affecting my productivity. The vast majority of the email
traffic is immediately deleted because I can't follow nuanced technical
discussions on parts of OpenStack I'm likely never to code in.

Having a seperate mailing list for each project seems to offer the best
of all worlds.

* Subscribe only to what you need to
* Subscribe to everything
* Easy filtering (because you can filter on the mailing list)

Keep openstack-dev for issues which cross project domains.
