Justin and I did some investigation and weren't able to reproduce the problems people were encountering last year.
We confirmed that it is not necessary to subscribe before posting. If the sender is not whitelisted, then messages receive an immediate reply with the subject "Your message to firefox-dev awaits moderator approval". Messages caught by the spam filter do not receive this reply. If a message does not get posted on the list and there is no moderation auto-reply, then it has gone missing, perhaps filtered with the spam. firefox-dev-owner is the official contact if there is a problem.
