I have seen a handful in my years here, but your point is indeed valid. 

However, i believe the whole idea of having more than one mailing list is folly anyway. Why? Case in point: this thread! We have a person who is not sure which list to post a question, meanwhile the question "in question" remains unanswered. 

Many lists employ title tags that help to give a hint of who should answer. like:

[newbie] How to assign variables?
[first timer] Why is Python Zen violated by stdlib?

Or even the ever-present "Help: blah blah blah?"
