I don't think I can explain it authoritatively, but I can hazard a
guess. Skimming the archives sorted by author, it looks like most/all
the correspondents are Python core developers. That leads me to
believe this was a list created for the core Python developers to
discuss issues related to porting tools such as 2to3 or six. I doubt
it was intended for Python programmers to get help porting their own
code. From the Python core development perspective, I think automated
porting tools are likely pretty mature at this point and don't warrant
a lot of discussion.

If the dumbo OP had remembered to say that
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-porting states rather
vaguely "This list is to contain discussion of porting Python code
between versions, mainly from Python 2.x to 3.x." it might have helped
garner more answers. Still, if we leave the list open for long enough
we'll all be able to discuss porting python 2.x to python 4.x :)
