Because the new! improved! version of majordomo wasn't ready then, and *still* isn't ready now. Wanna know how long we've been waiting for majordomo2? The website says: What do I need to run it? In theory, just Perl 5 and various modules, all available from CPAN. In practice, you really want a recent version of Perl 5, preferably 5.005_03 or 5.6.1 ... And the last CVS commit was in October 2007. The last year that any significant amount of work was done on it was 2004. Siesta came about because some people said "wah! we're using a mailing list manager written in python, which is evil! If there was a mailing list manager written in modern perl instead of the nasty perl 4 mess that is majordomo, then I'd volunteer to hack on it to improve it". So Richard wrote Siesta, to prove that those people were all mouth and no trousers and would not, in fact, hack on it.
