Disclaimer: I'm not a mercurial developer

This page may have some useful info:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MailingLists#List_etiquette

The page references a message from mpm explaining why google groups causes
issues. Please see this reference (linked below):

http://mercurial.markmail.org/thread/7s23jgvl5gk2d57h

AFAIK posting through google groups makes mpm have to manually go through
each message.
