In these instructions we are using 2 databases for the Mailman and Django components. I guess it doesn't harm anything to have just one database for both but wondered whether it was a good idea to split eventually?
It is mostly a matter of taste. There is no conflict in tables between Mailman core and Django, so it's perfectly OK to use a single database. Splitting the databases enables more separation between Django and Mailman core and would possibly make it easier to run them on different servers if that was desired. It would even allow using different database managers for them, although I don't know why one would want that.
FWIW, this list's server uses a single database.
