The QA and PPD teams need to follow *all* of the lists, as they are 
working on all 3 projects. One thing we could try to help out these 
teams would be to tag the subject line of messages that are especially 
relevant to them [QA] or [PPD]. Summaries [sum] and last-calls also help.

Bear also pointed out that creating a new thread (by starting with a new 
message instead of replying) is helpful if you want to get new attention 
-- otherwise the message is buried in a long thread. Not reading every 
message of every thread is one effective technique for keeping the mail 
load manageable.

Cheers,
Katie
