In that case people filtering by using the "To: " header so the emails
would not be correctly filtered.

Also what exactly is the need to send 3 emails to several lists every week
when no discussion on them is expected (at least not on most of the
lists) ?

Another type of email that might be sent to several lists would be CFPs
for Network Organisation meetings.

In any case the current policy doesn't reflect current practice so one or
both needs to be modified.
