I presume you are joking, but remember newbies may read this.

But just in case:

There are more mutt experts on the mutt list than there are on the
debian-user list. 

It helps when you are searching for help on mutt to only have to search 
one archive: mutt-users, instead of having to search, debian-user,
gentoo-user, redhat-user, etc. etc. I hope you can see the benefit of having 
the information available in one place rather than scattered willy nilly all
over the Internet.

Debian support does not mean mutt support, postfix support, bash support
etc etc. if that was the case why not just have one list? 

Why do you think there are so many debian lists, for example?
