So what can we do? We could all ask on [Callers]

fed up with the forum being taken over. I wondered about a "please
identify this dance" (sub-)forum, similar to the many "ask the expert"
forums (fora?) you see in the IT community.
Do members have any thoughts about this? Will it work? How do we get
people on it? What are the issues? Is there a batter / alternative
approach?
First of all, I think making changes is a bit premature -- nobody AFAIK
is complaining about the current stream of requests. That said, Mailman
has the ability to create "virtual" mailing lists called topics:
https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/node29.html
It would be straightforward -- once we agree on any topic names -- for
Seth/Chris to implement topic filtering.
Aahz speaks for me on this. I don't find the current level any problem
at all, and a sub-list tag
wouldn't be a problem either.
