I don't know how good a suggestion this is, but maybe you'd be interested
in creating a mailing list for developers to discuss the "real" issues.
Perhaps you can have <linux-xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx> be for the users (of course
you'll still be there and will hopefully help out when you've got time)
and stuff like installation problems, et al.
Then you can have a <linux-xfs-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx> mailing list for
primarily developer-related issues. This can probably be where you'll find
all those TAKE's, high-level performance discussions (?) and of course,
bugs and various people giving input on how to handle them.
There will of course be topics that should be in the developer's mailing
list that will first find their way to the main list. These can probably
be cc'd and the thread transferred when appropriate.
