Good suggestion; the Freenet project has made very good experiences 
with such a strategy. They have a "chat" list that is basically for 
everything of secondary importance and a very focused development 
list. People actually abide by the rules, but you need to remind them 
of the rules from time to time. Put a list description in the footer:

##
free-sklyarov is a focused mailing list for coordination, 
announcements, reports, press sightings and URLs.
free-sklyarov-chat is a general mailing list for discussions; if you 
feel your mail is off-topic on the main list, please send it to chat.

To unsubscribe from either list, visit ..


It is important that people do not have to resubscribe for the 
focused list in order to preserve the momentum, therefore the 
transition phase -- getting chatters to use chat -- will be a bit 
clumsy.

Just my 2 Pf.

Erik
