No, but moderators do. People (well, email addresses) certainly *can*
be blacklisted.
Now, whether or not your contact is blacklisted here, only the list
admin know. Whether they'll confirm, or deny, I couldn't say.

Mr. Zmudzinski has written to me with his suggestions. He said that he is banned from mailing lists. I am uncertain whether someone can be banned from posting. Mailing Lists don't ban anyone from posting. One could at best have to subscribe in order to post. Could the List Maintainers please look into the matter and apprise me of the situation here. To Mr. Zmudzinski: I will carefully consider your suggestions. Thank you for sharing your insights off-list.

LXQT is built on qt5 which is the same underlying GUI toolkit that KDE uses but is more lightweight than KDE. It is similar to LXDE which I used to use but I switched to LXQT because I perceived it to be under more active development than LXDE. P.S. I am not able to reply to you on-list because I was banned from Debian mailing lists by our illustrious Debian leaders for allegedly trolling, but I think they made a mistake about that because I am not a troll and just wanted to help out and express my opinion on some things as a Debian user but they censored my opinion by banning me.

As are they in Xfce, and everywhere else that uses the standard
freedesktop.org menu.
To make it easy, I use the Gnome package alacarte:
$ apt-cache show alacarte
Package: alacarte
Version: 3.44.2-1
Installed-Size: 534
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers
Architecture: all
Depends: python3:any, gnome-menus (>= 3.5.3), python3-gi,
gir1.2-gtk-3.0, gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 (>= 3.5.3), gir1.2-glib-2.0,
gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0
Description-en: easy GNOME menu editing tool
Alacarte is an easy-to-use menu editor for GNOME that can add and edit
new entries and menus. It works with the freedesktop.org menu
specification and should work with any desktop environment that uses
the spec. Description-md5: ea89a81c038b7864336ed55a2783b93b
Multi-Arch: foreign
Homepage: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/alacarte
Tag: admin::configuring, implemented-in::python, interface::graphical,
interface::x11, role::program, scope::utility, suite::gnome,
uitoolkit::gtk, use::configuring, x11::application
Section: utils
Priority: optional
Filename: pool/main/a/alacarte/alacarte_3.44.2-1_all.deb
Size: 84176
MD5sum: b7c49c1a6438bb32755d1a67d06d7455
SHA256: 32d1be88bd9f52c540ea3f6d7c10ac2b92a47ecbb78a6fee0ac5e4837b913977
To use alacarte ('Main Menu' under Settings) with one of the minor
applications that don't have an automatic desktop menu (and you may
find that your menu has an 'Other' entry which lists all these) then
you need to find its executable with whereis.
$ whereis hardinfo
hardinfo: /usr/bin/hardinfo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hardinfo
/usr/share/hardinfo /usr/share/man/man1/hardinfo.1.gz
The /usr/bin/.. or /usr/sbin/.. is the one you want, enter this into
alacarte in your chosen category e.g. system.
If you want an icon for it, you'll need to find a suitable one and use
alacarte to select it.
