[wp-hackers] Future of wp-hackers

[Callum Macdonald]

What about creating topics within the one list?

An informal policy might be enough. Include it in the welcome message 
for the list. Prepend your subject line with the appropriate topic:
[security]
[plugins]
[core]
[discussion]

That would make it easier to filter out what you don't want to read but 
still give everyone access to all the info if they want it.

Cheers - Callum.
