I think the Sugar development list, once moved to sugarlabs.org,
will still focus on the same topics.
If, and when, the traffic about non-OLPC ports grows to a point where
it becomes distracting to core development, we might create additional
lists.
Cross-posting to multiple Sugarlabs and OLPC lists will be welcome
as always.
As for the technical aspect of reading multiple lists, can I suggest
using gmame.org? Their list archives are very usable and they even
relay them over NNTP, which is generally faster than IMAP for a large
number of posts.
The way I do it, is a little geeky, but I found it optimal: I use
procmail recipes based on the Sender header to sort each list into
its own server-side Maildir folder. Then, I use IMAP to access it
from all my laptops.
This lets me comfortably subscribe to ~30 lists for a total of 5GB
of mail :-)

It's too bad I have a 3kb/s downlink here in Kathmandu, but I know
*exactly* where this quote comes from ;-)))
