I fully agree that this is more likely a manpower issue than a 
disinterest issue.

Well, looking at the ffserver questions in ffmpeg-users, the vast 
majority of responses are by Baptiste, and more than half of the total 
posts are not replied to at all. So, as long as Baptiste were to read 
the new ML it is unlikely that the situation would get materially worse 
for ffserver users.  The benefit would be that ffserver users would more 
easily be able to see *each others'* questions, and share their combined 
experience.

In short, I strongly feel that the pros of a new ML greatly outweigh the 
cons.
