The language-coded lists are catch-alls for PostgreSQL-related things in that
language. That is presumably because there is not enough traffic to have
more specifically themed lists. Therefore, the naming is appropriate. The
mission of pgsql-eu-general is unclear to me at this point, so I cannot
comment.
The proposed purpose of pgsql-us-general is, however, not a catch-all list for
discussions about PostgreSQL in the USA. I was told that it is specifically
intended for matters of the USPA. A more accurate mailing list title would
be to everyone's benefit, so you don't get useless and off-topic traffic.
