On e.g. kwrite-devel, all bug reports show up on that list(*), which is 
nice if (like me) you want to watch what is going on in the bugzilla 
world and (also like me) prefer news to e-mail. What bugs show up here 
(kdevelop-devel) bug-wise seems rather haphazard. Basically, the reason 
is 'so people that prefer news to e-mail can subscribe to the list'. :-) 
Anyway, that's how/why I personally would use it if it were on gmane.

If I sign it up, I think it would have to be read-only to force people 
to add comments the right way (if kdevelop-bugs isn't itself read-only, 
which I didn't check).

(* well, kwrite-devel is a default CC, anyway. I assume you can remove 
it, but I would also assume the same can be done for kdevelop-bugs, so 
that doesn't really mean anything.)
