Hi all, As I wanted to contact the mailman folks, I followed the "Email Us" link on the front page [1] of the mailman project, which points to this mailman-users list, and had the bad surprise to see my post come back to me because posting to the list is only allowed to subscribers, which I wasn't.
I see very little point in having such a public link to a subscriber-only list. I can easily imagine that many other users have followed the link like I just did, and ended up frustrated that their post was rejected. Thus, I would propose that one of the following actions is taken: 1* Make the list public (possibly by making non-member posts moderated rather than rejected). 2* Make the link point to the list subscription page [2] rather than the list address itself, as subscribing is the first thing that needs be done here. This might add to confusion more than help though. 3* Remove the link altogether, as proposals 1 and 2 don't sound really good.
