These are not assigned to any topics, and therefore fall under the
"Other" topic.

From the manual, appendix B, "Distribution Keywords", "Topics":

"LISTSERV first skips any possible sequence of 'Re:' keywords, and
takes anything to the left of a colon as a list of topics, separated
by commas."

There is no colon in any of the above subjects (skipping Re:),
therefore no topic.
