Even for software where I'm only a user, I strongly prefer one list, for a
couple reasons:

* I like to be able to email questions/comments/bug reports to one list
where devels are going to see them.  Often I don't know for certain myself
whether a given email is a question or a bug report.

* I like to see whether the project is healthy or not.  Emails are easy to
filter or ignore when I don't want to see them, but just by piling up in a
folder I get an idea what's going on with a project if anything.
