It's not technically rejecting anything, it's just explicitly looking
in -hackers and doesn't even know the others exist :)

Changing that to look globally can certainly be done. It takes a bit
of work I think, as there are no API endpoints today that will do
that, but those could be added.

But just to be clear -- "some pgsql list" would include things like
pgsql-general, the pgadmin lists, the non-english regional lists, etc.
That may be fine, I just want to be sure everybody realizes that's
what it means. Basically everything on
