The traffic on xmlschema-dev is not large anyway. Practically speaking for me it makes no difference whether people start discussions on Yahoo or otherwise. No-one's gonna stop you. I wasn;t clear to me, however, that the list creator knew that xsdschema-dev even existed before announcing the yahoo list. Furthermore, I personally don't like yahoo groups or any other hyper-commercialized interface. Like it or not, the name "XSD" is associated with the W3C. Perhaps if the yahoo list creator would not encroach on the namespace so closely: perhaps "XSD-users" or "alt-XSD" or "XSD-open" would be better (and not a bad marketing move either).
