That would be true if a large number of Ubuntu developers were
subscribers to the users' list, but, as far as I know that is not the
case. So, it would be *our* in-boxes that would fill, not theirs. 

It could be argued that this is precisely why it has not been fixed,
but that would be cynical, and not in the spirit of Ubuntu ;-)
