Certainly not. The reason why is that most people would still use English as the communication 
language.

In any case, the current "global" lists are not global, they are English lists and should be 
identified as such.

There is no need for a "global" user list and the "global" discussion list should not be a mere 
"discussion" list but a "policy" list where only items of global interest regarding TDF or LO are 
discussed.

Ok, then create a few @en.libreoffice.org lists too to ensure that all the low interest English 
traffic is redirected there please.
