Out of curiosity which major linux distro operates a fragmented mailing list such as the one proposed?

Compared to those CentOS really has few lists.
Recently Wikipedia migrated from Red Hat/Fedora to Ubuntu? Why didn't they consider CentOS?
I don't know - do you?
I think I've seen Dag Wieers and Johhny Hughes posting questions on the Nahant-list, why not on this list or the Centos forum?
Because they had Nahant questions or wanted to make Nahant users or developers aware of something? I think basically they chose the venue they thought to be correct for the question.
Such a fragmentation as that proposed is one guaranteed to turn the CentOS mailing list along the lines of the CentOS forum.
In favour for the forums (and that from me!): It's massively easier to filter out stuff in a mailing list than it is to do so in a forum.
