is there, by chance, a single list of these 3rd parties?
3. Nice catch on the subscription-required observation.
my understanding (if I remember correctly, I'm not sure) is that
"subscription required to post, period" is THE policy for all
Apache-hosted mailing lists.
Good idea, but see below....
It may not be noticed that a Q is from a non-subscriber and
responses likely go back to the list only.
it is terrible that this point is still made after the problems and
embarrassments it has caused for almost ten years now. See

Agreed; it's been IMO the cause of newbies wondering why they don't get
help, and of endless meta-discussions on the list: effort might have
been better directed.
I'll make the suggestion again that I've made before - how about
arranging that subscribed users get to post to the list, unsubscribed
get their queries directed to some sort of 'bot that tries to analyze
their query and give a likely response (and tells them the benefits of
subscribing). Bayes anyone?
