I'd also like to follow discussions, but unsubscribed from cvs-ghc due to
the volume.
Maybe the reply-to field on cvs-ghc emails could be set to
glasgow-haskell-bugs? (or whatever the agreed upon dev list is called)
Then if someone replies to a bot/commit message on cvs-ghc, it
automatically goes to the place where active discussion happens, and those
of us that don't want so many emails won't have to dig through cvs-ghc to
find the interesting bits.

I'm surprised by this, FWIW. I think skimming the commits is a good way to get an idea of what's going on,
Indeed, it can be. But I can't keep up with the huge number of commits everyday, and I'm not interested in the large majority of them.
while discussions between developers
tend to be focussed on particular obscure points (e.g. discussing correctness of a murky corner in the intersection between 2 new type system extensions, or discussing the way PIC is handled on OSX/PowerPC) which I wouldn't have thought were of much interest to any party not involved in the discussion and familiar with the details.
I find these things (both examples, actually) more interesting. I'm more likely to follow such threads than I am to skim the commits.
Anyway, I'm not really too fussed about what mailing lists we have. I'll
just subscribe to them all anyway :-)
I'm not too fussed about it, either, but I wouldn't mind a restructuring. I might even subscribe to them all as well, but then it will be easier to follow the commits at a different pace from the rest (without having to create a new filter, which I've been so far too lazy to do).
