This is no joke; an excess of traffic means that important development work
is overlooked by developers who don't have time to follow high-traffic
mailing lists.  debian-devel is a prime example of how bad this can get.

The -devel/-devel-discuss split was already implemented to help avoid this
problem.  It has helped, and I'm looking for ways to make it work even
better.
