Check the a= rchives for the reasons why. Right, but for the *main* mailing list. However if Rico, Walter and others would find a limited traffic mailing list valuable there's nothing stopping them from setting one up. Jay linked to an archive where someone is running RSS feeds of the different parts of the git list, similarly you could set up a git-user list which would be a version of the git list filtered to reduce patch traffic. Maybe that list wouldn't make much sense when patches are intermingled with regular discussion, but it's worth a try.
