Certainly when I was on IESG I believed I had the responsibility
to read the ietf@ list without filters. I did block one or two
individuals' addresses once I was no longer on IESG, but mostly I
just allowed myself the freedom to not read the list every day and
to not try to "catch up" on everything if I got too far behind.
(My incoming mail was already being filed into a separate folder
for each mailing list, and I wasn't paying for disk space, so I
just let most of that incoming mail keep coming for several
years.)
These days, I would argue that reading the ietf@ lists and one's
own area's WGs' mailing lists would be insufficient for an AD,
because the traditional function of the ietf@ list has become so
fragmented. There are so many "essential" lists now that I'd
struggle to enumerate them, and probably miss a few of them if I
tried.
