I think a split into kernel/library development would take of the most
load from people that need/want to work on kernel stuff only (at the moment).

As this would imply that we don't subscribe generally to the 'other' list(s),
I would suggest to have a ggi-develop (as usual) and a kgi-develop, 
mainly about driver/internal stuff. But, we sould name two persons responsible
to post a summary once a week from each 'other' list. I think this is neccessary
not to loose contact... However, doesn't seem too practical to me.
