Hi, I don't see any component in bugzilla for mailing lists, so I'm posting here.
In order to do that I have to subscribe, which takes more than a few bounces, and that's the problem. Public mailing lists should receive mail from *anybody*; if the poster is not subscribed, then the message should go through moderation. This is the truly open way. Orthogonal to this is that the mailing lists should not mingle with "Reply-To"; they should leave the To and Cc fields intact, so that the MUA can reply to the right addresses. See: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html This way when a non-subscriber posts something, he doesn't have to add the "Please CC me as I'm not in the mailing list"; it will happen automatically. Decent mailing lists, such as LKML, and all the lists at vger.kernel.org[1], do this. Moreover you have dozens of mailing lists, do you expect people to subscribe to them when they want to send a one-time email? I'm sending this because my last mail to packag...@lists.fedoraproject.org ended with "Your message to packaging awaits moderator approval", and no feedback afterwards; it wasn't posted, it wasn't rejected, nothing. So I guess the moderator just deleted it. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/confirm/packaging/cb5b17e42464919ddd4a544f87093b6ff1f452b2 I took a considerable amount of time writing that email, it's not nice for non-subscriber mails to just be dropped like that. Please, make Fedora mailing list friendly to outsiders. Cheers.
