Because that's what it's for. People tend to search information from the
software's web page. In the web page there is a link called "List of
Changes" to a page that does not contain the information about key bindings.
There is also the FAQ which does not contain this information. The person
who asked the question also had searched the mailing list archives.
IMHO that is enough background work done before sending a question to the
list.
I've also experienced that people who use RPMs (mostly newbie linux users)
don't even know about the /usr/doc directory where the Changelogs et cetera
are installed. They install the binary and if they run into problems they
search the web page and then post to the newsgroup / mailing list. Of course
they _should_ read every help/text-file what comes with the package, but
that's just how people tend to do. A lot of bandwidth is saved with a good
FAQ.
