People are often hesitant to discuss dirty laundry in public; not least because it can sometimes have employment implications. Most requests on the lists are thus phrased as "please contact me about X" or "It would be really nice if you could fix your misconfiguration at site Y" so that there's no onus placed on an engineer to discuss the issue publicly; fixing the issue, or responding with a private message about the issue is usually considered sufficient response.
