I believe it's so that people can report bugs. Note that I don't administer the mailing lists. If you want to *understand* the policy, that's one thing. If you want to *change* the policy, you would have to step up and volunteer some time as a system administrator. Personally I would be in favor of using the mailman feature "hold messages from non-subscribers for approval". If someone's bug report gets held for 12-24 hours, I don't have a problem with that. I would also volunteer to be one of the moderators/administrators. I set up a mailman list, [EMAIL PROTECTED], which works this way. We get a couple of spams submitted per week, but no one besides the moderators sees them. > It seems clear to me that that is the answer. It's easy to tell other people what to do; it's harder to actually do things. Would you like to help out?
