At the risk of getting bad e-karma for cross posting to openstack-operators, 
that might be the place to post that question.  I for one disagree that we 
should merge the openstack general list into 
openstack-operat...@lists.openstack.org and the only other vote I caught on 
this thread also disagreed.

Several reasons: 

1) new users will look for openst...@openstack.lists.openstack.org  because 
openstack-dev@ and openstack-operators@ are both specific things.  community@ 
might have been an option, but that is taken already.  
2) operations guys are just as specialized as devs in terms of what they want 
to talk about, it isn't meant for general "why openstack" questions.
3) if/when you migrate email addresses / logs it will be easier to move them to 
a brand new list.  Otherwise you will have to try to merge history and not step 
on existing data.
4) reusing an email address for the sake of optimization of having "too many 
lists" at the cost of community confusion is false optimization, you'll just 
get more non-dev traffic on the dev list if the choice is -dev or -operators.
