I think general discoverability is a driving force. A beginner has a
problem, goes to google, types in their problem, and sees some links to
the documentation and stackoverflow first (typically). And that's where
they are.
SO also ranks responses to a question, which the list doesn't do. There
are lots of things that I think SO is better suited for than mailing
lists --- but of course I also think there are lots of things the list
is better suited for than fora like SO.
