You'll find that many people will want to be subscribed to all of the
mail lists - just in case something interesting is said or asked.

You'll also find that some Muppets will post their questions to multiple
lists, instead of finding a specific list to use, or will judge that
their question/comment has relevance in multiple lists.  For instance,
how many Asterisk veterans are likely to hang out on asterisk-newbies so
that they can answer the same FAQ question every ten minutes, and how
many Asterisk users are going to post their questions to the newbie
list when they find that there are no experts there?  People already
post and/or duplicate end-user questions to the developers' list as
it is.

Splitting up the mail lists will most likely result in more bandwidth
use for most people - not less.
