Actually that's set up that way (I'm purely guessing here) for people
who subscribe on a "digest" basis, so they can still receive timely
replies to their issues without having to read every message as it comes

Plus, if you'd like (I do), set up a folder for this list, and set up a
mail rule that forwards anything with [GENERAL] in the name to the
folder. Keeps it nice and clean (even with a couple other pg lists, and
a couple apache lists).
