There isn't enough time in the day to read and reply to every single
email on the list, and having the proposal hidden in a large thread
isn't going to get as many people looking into it.
Also, a three hour window between "Dave, how about this?" to "it's now
in CVS" is hardly enough time to render proper discussion. Some people
sleep, or work, or do other things besides post to pgsql-www.
