And I'm sorry if that came of a little terse. Honestly since the advent
of web based mail/news viewers I've never really bothered with using one
so I'm fairly ignorant.

My point was you're not asking the maintainer of the git mailing list to
change something. You're asking the maintainers of all mailing lists run
from vger.kernel.org to change something (i.e. a much greater scale).
Again my ignorance as to how things are run at kernel.org may be
distorting reality.
You may get more mileage out of asking the developers of the majordomo
software [1]. But even if they do make a change it may take a while to
be deployed on kernel.org
