Lets look at all the fedora related lists and see what is needed or not 
needed. i took this list from http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo and am 
re-organising a little

  fedora-advisory-board  
  fedora-advisory-board-readonly
  fedora-board-list
Should we merge the board-list to fab list?

  fedora-announce-list
  Fedora-maintainers-announce 
  Fedora-directory-announce 
  Fedora-legacy-announce 
Lets merge all the announge lists to one.  If need be people can filter
  Fedora-package-announce 
Lets keep this one seperate its likely to have a largish volume

  Fedora-maintainers
  Fedora-maintainers-readonly  
it can be nice to have a quietish list for discussion

  fedora-devel-list 
  fedora-devel-java-list 
  Fedora-perl-devel-list 
  Fedora-r-devel-list  
  Fedora-directory-devel  
  fedora-test-list 
  fedora-extras-list 
  Fedora-relnotes-content 
  Fedora-packaging 
merge all the devel lists into one

  Fedora-package-review 
this is a high volume devel list  that noise should be kept of the main devel 
list

  fedora-cvs-commits 
  fedora-extras-commits
  Fedora-eclipse-commits
  Fedora-directory-commits 
lets merge all cvs commits to one list.  i can always filter ones i dont want 
out.

  fedora-list 
  Fedora-de-list  
  Fedora-es-list
  Fedora-fr-list
  Fedora-ja-list 
  Fedora-users-br
Lets be consistent with names i think its fair to have list for different 
langages.

  Fedora-docs-br  
  Fedora-docs-commits 
  fedora-docs-list 
  fedora-dsco-list 
is there even a dsco?  i had not heard of them until looking at the list 

  Fedora-edu-br  
  Fedora-education-list   
We could do more on education issues in other countries

  Fedora-trans-ar 
  Fedora-trans-bn 
  Fedora-trans-bn_in 
  Fedora-trans-el 
  Fedora-trans-hi 
  Fedora-trans-ja 
  Fedora-trans-list 
  Fedora-i18n-list 
Do we really need a translation list and a i18n list?

  Fedora-ia64-list 
We may want more arch specific lists though alot of it just belongs in devel

  Fedora-art-list
  Fedora-buildsys-list * this could be infrastructure but is used for much 
more than just fedora.
  Fedora-laptop-list * perhaps this should be in devel
  fedora-triage-list  * Perhaps this should be in devel
  Fedora-marketing-list 
  Fedora-mentors-list 
  Fedora-music-list 
  Fedora-security-list 
  fedora-selinux-list 
  Fedora-xen  
  fedora-legacy-list 
  Fedora-infrastructure-list 
  Fedora-directory-users  
  Fedora-desktop-list 
  Fedora-games-list 
  Fedora-websites-list
  Fedora-women-list  
specifc projects  need there own communication means

just my 2c
