The only reason to do this is to quell bandwidth.  The discarding of
uninteresting architectures can always be done by the subscriber.  For
example, I do this with Gnus:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(|
	;; lots of stuff elided
	("to\\|cc\\|x-mailing-list" "debian-\\(devel-\\)?changes@.*debian.org"
	 (|
          ("subject" "source\\|i386" "debian-changes")
          junk
          )
         )
	;; more stuff elided

so that I can just keep abreast of any packages which upload source or
i386 binaries.
