The link simply defines what a "mailing list" is for those people who
are not familiar with the term, which seems like a reasonable thing to
do in an Introduction.

There is a link to the list of mailing lists already, in the Basic use section:

The current list of available mailing lists is at
https://lists.debian.org/, presented sorted by topic and unsorted.

The lists.d.o main page has a link to that page:

    If you wish to browse a complete list of mailing lists, see the
complete index.

It also has a link to additional Debian mailing lists that are not on lists.d.o:

    If you wish to browse a list of additional Debian related mailing
lists, see the wiki page.
