Initally I misunderstood the pproposal, so let me clarify my stand:

I find it appropriate with 2 lists, one for development and one for the 
more noisy machine-generated VCS messages.

In other words, I dislike the idea of separating e.g. technical and 
non-technical discussions of the human conversations in separate lists.
