Those mailing lists are broken, IMO.

Once upon a time, we needed a small feature in GTK to let it live
peacefully with XForms. So, I wrote a nice long e-mail explaining
what the feature was, and why we needed it, and sent it to the
GTK mailing list.
Then the mailing list replied that I was not subscribed, so my
mail was blocked. I had to subscribe, or reply, or something
to get my mail through, except that my mail was lost.
That was such a disappointment that I just gave up.

I hate such mailing lists.

I don't think we should trade two spam mails a week for a white-list
approach.

Greets,

Asger
