One reason why we have to have them is that in many cases, people will send 
messages like "I think better text for section X would be...." - and the 
editor will cut-and-paste that text into the document.

Unless the mailing list article is an "IETF contribution", the editor would 
have to check with the sender that he gives permission to use his words.

Keep It Simple.
