davem created that list as a response to some discussions about the moderation
on the (now former) arm-kernel list.
It never took of mainly because Russell wanted to keep the lists on
the ARM machine he had to do some stability testing.

Then the vger folks did some misconfiguration that made it
defunct for a long time.

[I'm susprised why we did not just add a arm-toolchain@vger + arm-userspace@vger
and be done with it. The mail admins cope with a lost of lists and thye would
barely notice a few more]
