I don't think it makes sense--it's not like traffic related to
pl/pgsql floods out everything else on the list.  For better or worse,
it's an integral part of PG--what's the rationale for a separate list?

I haven't been seeing so much traffic about pl/pgsql that it seems to
warrant a separate list.

If we were having to turn away pl/pgsql questions, I would easily
agree.

When the list traffic demands it, perhaps it'll be considered.  Until
then there's no reason to multiply lists beyond necessity.  Even Tom
Lane has an upper limit on the number of lists he can read each day.  :)

FWIW, a good number of posts in the pgsql-sql list actually reference plpgsql,
so if you're interested in that kind of traffic, you might want to subscribe
there.
