All that seems rather useless for the most part, I doubt anything from an RfA or the AN/I has been brought up this list.
WT:RFA tends to be pretty wide ranging and WP:AN/I is one of the places major flareups can begin (although I would generally suggest that tracking WP:AN is more efficient)
This list seems to be mostly policy related discussions, and its probably much easier to follow than what you listed above.
WP:AN/I is however very much on the coalface of en.wikipedia. If you want to know what problems are cropping on a day to basis that is the kind of thing you need to pay attention to rather than the rather more abstracted mailing lists.
Again, if you were to ask a community member about half the stuff you follow, they would have told you that 90% of it is rather useless and trivial.
Thats true of pretty much everything though.
There are other policy related things which seem to be going by without notice.
With the number of policies listed at:

The weakings who sleep or do silly things like actually edit the article pages are going to miss stuff. Sure this will sometimes result in you staring blearily at a deletion log wondering why CSD#T2 has come back to life (answer it means something different now) but that is pretty unavoidable.
