Centralizing everything that needs to be done in the next month in one thread is much better and focused than going through hundreds of previous emails just to find that patch that you were interested in at one time or the other. The emails on the list that talked about patch reviews are currently scattered through hundreds of development emails, it's ridiculous to have to go through all of that.
