This, I think, is a consequence of listing all the lists by hand (so to 
speak), rather than simply providing links to the various lists hosted
by gnome.org, helixcode.com, eazel.com and so on: for example

 * lists at gnome.org (far too many to list)
 * lists at helixcode.com (includes Helix and Evolution-specific lists)
 * lists at eazel.com (includes Eazel and Nautilus-specific lists).
 * lists at sourceforge (includes [...well, whatever is relevant here, 
if anything])

It might look barer, but it will not date so rapidly. 

Having it the way it's done now means someone has to go and update the 
page every single time a new list is created. There's several missing
as a result. 

Personally, I think saying "Here are the main places you'll find
gnome-related lists" is simpler to maintain :)

Agreed.

Cc'd to webmaster gnome org in the hope it's the right place. I believe
www.gnome.org is all in gnome CVS, but I have never been sure how you
amend it.
