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.
I was thinking that may be the only argument, but since I agree it is
not valid here. Since I see only positive response, I have enabled
this feature.
