The language-coded lists are catch-alls for PostgreSQL-related things in that 
language.  That is presumably because there is not enough traffic to have 
more specifically themed lists.  Therefore, the naming is appropriate.  The 
mission of pgsql-eu-general is unclear to me at this point, so I cannot 
comment.

The proposed purpose of pgsql-us-general is, however, not a catch-all list for 
discussions about PostgreSQL in the USA.  I was told that it is specifically 
intended for matters of the USPA.  A more accurate mailing list title would 
be to everyone's benefit, so you don't get useless and off-topic traffic.
