This is likely because some of those lists are subscribers only, so cross
posting is poor form. It makes sense to keep the discussion in one place,
and to send notification messages with a pointer to the list archives to
the other lists so folks can jump in if they really care. Splitting it
out doesn't help matters in the least, but unfortunately this is what
seems to happen the most when subscribers only lists are involved.
