I'll throw in my 2cents.  At first I was a little overwhelmed by the
number of emails coming into my inbox, but given this is such a new
distribution, I think it's good for the users to see all of the
different problems coming in.  Plus, if it's too much, you can just
setup a filter to move it to another folder for reading later.  My
vote is to keep it at one list (for now anyway).
