I believe that in the scenario where php-dev@ is sent bug reports as opposed to people having to subscribe separately to php-bugs@ the amount of people reading bug reports in the first case will be bigger than in the second. This is because I believe there is a % of people who would read bug reports if they received them but wouldn't actively subscribe to the bug reports list.
