I think the current devel, devel-announce, and release mailing lists are sufficient for cross-flavor communication or when something potentially impacts another team.  Flavor leaders already watch these lists for things that interest flavors and forward them on as needed.  There are already so many lists that I'm not sure that a generic flavor list would add sufficient value and would most likely just end up as another copy of the email for most people that are involved.  Flavors are part of the development community (and actually make up a significant part of community Ubuntu development at this point), so I think using the Ubuntu development community lists are very appropriate.
