How is it differ from several independent maillists? Just for example,
boost-threads_at_[hidden], boost-iterators_at_[hidden] etc.?
And yahoogroups really have nice web interface.

The solution is that: open several mail lists on yahoogroups and put "keyword"
into the local part of address.
But I don't think that traffic is too high, anyway, so I would leave things as
they are now; at most, I could understand division into "metalibrary" (traits,
functional, iterators etc.) and "problem-oriented" part (regex, threads, crc
etc.).
