FWIW, Spirit (spirit.sf.net) benefited a lot from having a separate
mailing list since its debut more than a year ago. It has nothing
to do at all with being different from other boost projects. For instance,
I am subscribed to 3 boost related mailing list (boost.spirit, boost.python
boost.docs). Typically, groups coalesce to form specific, specially focused
sub-groups. That's normal, IMO.

Spirit's has a searchable with the WWW interface. As do boost.python and
any other source-forge related mailing list.
