Mainly because whenever patches were sent to this list in the past, they
tended to be forgotten eventually. In Trac, at least they stay available and
in the right context. Personally I don't see the difference between getting
additional mails on this list, or the very same mails from a different list.
That is if the separate patch notifications for Trac can be implemented. It
would be the best of both.
