People use debian-hurd only because of two important reasons : 1) it's much easier to use Debian archives than GNU archives. 2) subscribers-base overlaps very much, so there is no big difference where you post, if you post to debian-hurd everyone interested will get the mail anyway. Really, ther's not any mojor reason to not merge them all, as far as Debian is the only important GNU/Hurd distribution, and I doubt it will change this year.
