I think this would be a bad idea. A hundred new messages a day is perfectly manageable if you have a decent news reader that tracks threads. Mostly the subjects of threads are clear enough, I find I only look at about one third of all the threads. A thread like "future of Ada" has lots of posts, but if you are not interested in advocacy posts (I am not), you just skip the whole thread. THat's near enough equivalent to having a separate advocacy subgroup.
