If you are unable to configure your mailer to correctly and usefully
handle mailing lists, Gentoo may not be the distro for you.

Mailers are incredibly flexible and powerful pieces of software, not to
mention remarkably intelligent at times. You only have to look at the
tagline mine[1] chose for this mail to see that.

[1] I use Claws Mail, which also handles news, so I can read either from
the same interface, but mail is there and news isn't so I'm still
perfectly happy. I see no reason for a dev to take time away from more
important tasks to set up and maintain a project, the only real benefit of
which would be to kill this thread.
