Well, for what it's worth, there are lots that don't, and some of
them for good reason.  Lists like bug-gnu-utils and linux-kernel
are open for posting so that anyone can submit their bug reports
to them; otherwise a lot of useful information would get dumped
by bounces.  But I don't see any corresponding reason why
linux-user needs to be open.
