Mozilla uses an odd combination of Mailman and Google Groups. So most
Mozilla lists can be subscribed to via Mailman *or* Google Groups. I wasn't
around when the decision was made but I believe the driving force was to
provide a Mailman interface for those who work best with that and a web
interface for people who liked the newsgroup format. While it doesn't
always work perfectly, it seems to work for a lot of people.

And this is a huge feature.

The problem with the Mozilla hybrid, from my Mailman biased perspective, is
that the archives are in Google Groups. So when I join a list, I can't
download the mbox to search and read the archives effectively given the way
I work.
