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.
