I'm of the opposite opinion: the mails don't affect me (they're sorted in
subfolders by filters), but sometimes I've jumped in discussions and found
regressions merely by reading mails as they arrived to the mailing lists.
Subscribing to everything would be a hassle, it is much easier through a ML
(and filters help separating discussions from merge requests).
Not everyone uses KMail and/or has or wants to use and set up elaborate
filtering capabilities. Requiring this to subscribe to the mailing list
without getting a huge amount of spam seems contrary to our goals of new
contributor friendliness (to say nothing of still using mailing lists in
general, but that's a different bikeshed).
