All in one is fine. Just be very wary of getting burned out. I especially would watch out for python-ideas as any random idea can end up there and just go on and on with no resolution.

As basically a lurker, I second that -- these summaries (and the weekly tracker summary) are great, and anything that keeps the volunteers happy and healthy is really important.

Similarly, as an irregular reader, I would prefer all-in-one to the extent that you do summarize more than one list.

However, it would be nice if the thread summaries included a list of thread subjects occurring on any lists that don't get a verbose summary. For example, something automatic based on Subject header would be fine, any extra checking for topic changes that don't get a subject change or subject changes that don't correspond to a thread break is above and beyond the call of the volunteer spirit. Oh, and as part of the boilerplate call for comments on the summaries, suggest that people who care about a particular thread that isn't represented due to topic-Subject skew to suggest an entry for it (one line maximum).
