You do not need to join *all* mailing lists. You can either directly
file a bug or change request, or you can join the one mailing list being
relevant to your ideas and concerns.

Why? Just because you think so?

But you expect *developers* to be subscribed to all mailing lists?!

No way. This would be a significant waste of their time. Most of them
contribute in their free time and they either work on stuff *they* have
interest in or they work on stuff someone else has specified in a wish
list. The latter can be done by product managers or by users, depending
on the size and the structure of the project respectively.
