Nathan,
I understand your concern...but are not so worried.
If you look at any hackerspace they usually have multiple email lists....some aren't public some are.
Most are published
So hackerspace might have toilet@hackerspace for bathroom related stuff and kitchen@hackerspace for kitchen related stuff..
The problem isn't the splintering, thr problem is the discoverability.
Which is what wiki are good at and teachers who meet other teachers.
Also....many people who use email clients still don't know how to filter....or to reply to the right person or how to unsubscribe from a list.
They will see TEACHERS as spam and irrelevant. I imagine the teachers list topics will be few and deep (in replies and length of reply). Really usefull to practitioners but not to the average person.
Does that make sense?

Hi Maria,
This list started
This is only going to lose the leverage-ability of the pre-existing
diybio mailing-list members. I'm sure there is a single-digit
percentage of members here. Why splinter the community, experts who
don't check often will miss out on opportunity to contribute (all
those who didn't get the update that a splintering occurred).
If you want to track and filter data... why not standardize on a
message-subject title prefix/suffix. In other words, why not just
start a topic with "TEACHERS: <insert topic here>"???
The existing mailing list with tons of people, following, ease of
google-ability, short name that is easy to remember, etc.
I literally have about 5 or 6 email lists all getting dumped into a
single DIYBio folder in my email client. This seems like a real waste
of time, and a real detriment to the community.
:(
