My initial reaction is that a separate mailing list is a bad idea, for
the quite simple reason that the wiki has lots of great documentation on
it, and it would be a bad idea if the people dealing with the non-wiki
docs lost sight of that. For example, recently when Brian Shumate was
posting those awesome guides on the wiki and announcing them on the
mailing list, that material was great to know about so that it can be
used and linked to from our docs.

In the context of the initiatives to bring the wiki and other docs
closer, I think separating the mailing lists would be a bad idea, and
wouldn't have any significant advantages.

I think the current balance is about right.
