I do see all subjects in python-ideas, but I often mute unproductive threads.
I personally had to give up on actually *reading* all the threads quite some time ago, so if it's a topic where the outcome doesn't matter to me, I'll tune it out. I may occasionally dive back into a long-lived thread if I get curious as to how it has spun on for so long :)
I also take my cues from the responses of others. I also spend an inordinate amount skimming email in general, and I don't expect others to do so (in fact, I wish some folks wouldn't spend so much time writing long emails -- or would spend more time making them shorter :-).
Aye, I know I'm prone to the latter problem - to the point where I'll sometimes include an opening TL;DR on emails in a work context :P However, I also tend to assume everyone treats python-ideas as a "when I have time, and the thread seems interesting" activity (since any actual proposed changes will still need to go through python-dev or the issue tracker), so I'm a bit more self-indulgent here.
