http://vger.kernel.org has 149 mailing lists, and that's maybe half of
the kernel lists out there. (The linux foundation's got a bunch, the
device tree list just switched servers, etc.)
Why is this list special?

I'm all for having this somewhere, but this is a silly place for it.
Putting it in linux/Documentation means you'll frequently tell newbies
"read the FAQ, except it's not on the web, we stuck it in a
subdirectory of a sudirectory of the kernel source because that's the
obvious place to stick the FAQ for a mailing list".
