In the absence of Barry giving a definitive answer, my guess would be that this is a cleaner design. It works for situations with just one person and also works for situations with many, many people involved (such as at a large company or a Mailman hosting service).

I asked about this a couple days ago, but it was buried in another message, so maybe nobody saw it. Why is the "mailman" mailing list necessary? Pre-2.1, I just had an alias which pointed to me. Now I apparently need a fully functioning Mailman list called "mailman". I read the FAQ at
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.025.htp
but it doesn't explain why a list (as opposed to a simple alias) is required.
