The percentage of people interested in the commits.etc is going to be much less than the people interested in discussions so only a small amount of people involved in development would need to signup for the new list. Usually what happens is when you see a commit, you reply to it and start a conversation about it. I think if you want to start a discussion about a commit but if that turns into a debate with more than 2 people it should move to php-webmaster to get more peoples opinions on it. Just my thoughts on the above points raised. Cheers. Paul.
