IMO, whether the subscriber lists are identical or not is irrelevant. I am subscribed to both but want separate lists. Separate lists help a subscriber more easily do different things with messages received from the different lists. Lists should be defined based on their intended content. However, I agree that there is little sense in ever posting (or replying) to both emacs-devel and the Emacs bug list(s). (Regardless of whether their subscribers are the same.) Pick the most appropriate list and post to that one. Occasionally, a thread might be moved from one list to another, but there is rarely a good reason to cross-post. Count me out of any possible followups to this, BTW - it's fine with me if others don't agree.
