A good email-client may help you cope with the volume. Threading is a 
must.

The fedora mailinglist has become a general forum for all things Fedora 
(except development and testing related items, which have their own 
mailinglists). It makes sense that most of the developers are on 
fedora-test and fedora-devel, rather than on this list.

It is a normal evolution with any project to move from a single to many 
mailinglists. It is not a threat, it makes things more viable.
