I gather that actual code changes to bitcoin-core and naturally all the other clients are already done in another place.

Lets allow people that work on bitcoin java, or completely other bitcoin based stuff to have a simple way to filter out the topics they are interested in. Mailinglist handling is pretty trivial in practically all email software, people can equally trivially subscribe to multiple lists as their interests go. As a long time open source developer, my experience is that more lists has never really caused fragmentation in the way that you fear.
