I still feel I'm missing many of them.  I'll do a more scientific survey.

I've got the feeling that the default is sometimes (and more often than it
used to be) freebsd-list-that-I'm-not-on.  Ports PRs always went to somewhere
that I didn't see.  I rather liked this.

Gnats does too good a job of sending all the administrivial mail to
freebsd-bugs, as shown by Kris recently generating more PR mail than all
commits :-).
