From where I stand, creating yet another mailing list related to Emacs
development is not a good idea, primarily because we will never be
able to separate the issues well enough for such a division to be
effective.  The clear disadvantage of this is that there will be
another mailing list to manage, so the advantages need to be very
clear to outweigh that, and they don't in this case.
