Since 2011 and bitcoin-development, the list was always intended to focus on the highly technical bits of the core software, and avoid wandering into never-ending philosophical discussions. Example: http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2011-June/thread.html
What happened years ago is not really relevant as Bitcoin has changed and the stakeholders have expanded. What is relevant is the actual description. Whatever you want to discuss it should be clearly described when people sign up.
