I think the fundamental problem is spammers. It's hard to kick off misbehaving users from usenet. Spanmers are trouble elsewhere too, but there are more tools to counter them. In short, spammers are why we can't have (some) nice things.

I don't know whether managing one would be more time consuming compared to an email list. Based on what I see in the git mailing list (via gmane), there is a significant amount of spam that makes it through, but most people have set their filters to handle that.
