I agree they are different in scale and amount of communication but
just because a system is smaller doesn't mean it should be inefficient.

Not really. Here I receive my own bug reports and updates for them
through the:

1. bugzilla system
2. user mailing list

I need neither of those and as far as I understand the only control I
have is to unsubscribe entirely from one or the other (or both). So it
is pretty much an all or nothing approach without option for fine
grained control on what one receives.

While that may be possible as a final brute-force measure, it
contradicts RFC 1855 which was recommended in another thread, in
particular: the principle of sending just the necessary info and not
exposing the receiver to a scenario in which he needs to pay with his
time and bandwidth struggling to get only the info he needs.
