That way you avoid overwhelming people with the streams of patches that appear. Consider how many people actually need to know about the problem. Do all xmonad subscribers need to know?
Most active projects have separate -users and -devel lists. I have myself thought that xmonad was active enough that keeping them combined was likely to annoy both users (who don't want to see, or care about, most of these patches) and developers (who are likely to regard user-type questions/discussions as unnecessary distractions).
I am against this separation. One thing I really love about xmonad (project, not WM itself) is low threshold between users and developers. I think most users are interested in what happens here (new features and extensions, etc), and if developers do not read -users list (not to get distracted) who will answer users' questions? -- Roman I.
