To me, it means "should be notified of anything maintenance-related". By that definition the list is a maintainer. And what do you do if you don't have a person designated as maintainer? Do you send everything to /dev/null?
A list is for general discussion, advice, whatever. Those two definitions are not mutually exclusive, and therefore the list email address may need to be identified as both/and, hence the two entries.
Cheers, Wol
