Both lists appear to be essentially dead so it's kind of a moot point.

I don't find this to be a problem at all, when it comes to new games.
Close to half the publishers can simply be ignored, because the stuff
they put out is nearly always crap. For the half that's worth buying
from, it's not hard to keep tabs on their new stuff, since they all
tend to have an official presence or at least a review-writing fanbase
on CSW and/or the Geek, plus newsletters, plus the equivalent of a
P500 list.
