I agree - most of my notifications do come right to my primary email and the discussion on these lists is invaluable to me. There's some really good ones with some of the smartest people in the world concentrated on them. Never had infosec twitter and don't want anything to do with it.
That said it would be nice if people sending stuff to oss-security would batch their emails instead of sending like 10-50 for each little CVE (I'm looking at you, apache software foundation)
