The Apache developers list is summarized every week by UK Web. See: http://www.ukweb.com/support/apacheweek/ Maybe we could round up some volunteers to summarize the major lists (hackers,current,stable,questions,security) and post the summaries weekly on the web. This, of course, doesn't eliminate the cross-posting or dead horse threads. It also precludes any interaction in the discussions by someone who just reads the summaries. Yet it would provide a valuable service for many of the people on these lists, I think. Most of us just sit back and watch the majority of the time. I would be willing to handle one of the lists.
