Mailing list usability

[Max Kriegleder]

Hi all,

I am an infrequent user of the mailing list, where I sometimes post 
issues and even more rarely pull request. Hence, I would rather not 
subscribe to the list because of spam (no pun intended!). However, I 
find it quite difficult to use the mailing list for my purposes without 
subscribing.

Lately, some of my messages apparently got lost. Also, I cannot answer 
to specific messages on 
https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@nuttx.apache.org/ as the 'Reply via 
email to' button doesn't work in my browser (Firefox). I have tried 
http://mail-archives.apache.org, which doesn't have a search and reply 
functionality, and 
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@nuttx.apache.org, which seems 
like the best alternative with search and reply functionality, but it 
doesn't seem to be in sync with the mailing list (or takes longer to do 
that).

Are there other alternatives for my use case or do I really need to 
subscribe to the mailing list?

Thanks!
Max
