A better approach could be to do a functional split, such as a
debian-X11, debian-config or debian-dist. This would reduce volume on
the main list without having people crossposting all over the place to
be sure to get an answer.
Of course finding the right split is not easy, but with a little
statistic on the distribution of subjects in the past, one should be
able to get a sensible partitioning.
And there must not be too many; 2-4 max.
