I'm happy either way as I am interested in all org related emails.  If
split, I would see no difference in the end: the emails from the two
lists would end up back in the same list for me as I use filtering (gnus
splitting to be precise) to distribute my many emails automatically to
their appropriate folders.

However, I don't think the volume in this list is that large, assuming
readers are using smart mail tools. Especially with threading, it's
relatively easy to delete or ignore whole threads at once if they are
not of interest.  Not that I do that very often with org threads, mind
you ;-)
