Because it is not the officially sanctioned news group for PostgreSQL.
The pgsql.* groups are.

I think you are reading much more into this that needs to be. All that
is being said, is that the primary members of the community hang out in
pgsql.* . Thus, that is where you are going to find the quickest
solution to your problem. Which would be true as the primary members of
the community use the mailing list as their primary communication means.
