I don't think it's true, especially given the list was set up during
the Sun era.  It's more it's the only reason I could possibly think of
why you would want two separate lists.  It's not like either are
particularly heavy traffic.  In fact, most OpenJDK lists only have
traffic because commit notifications are sent to them.

Maybe someone should put some of them out of their misery?
