You are/were not, even if your address appears in the Subject field, see

No.
Let me explain what happened:
Somebody managed to subscribe xorg@ to a «resell our service»
system. How they did that, I'm not sure. This system would send emails
to everybody emailing xorg@ saying «Thanks for your email, we'll get
back to you». As they did not include enough identifying information in
the «we'll get back to you» emails, I had to change the list software we
use on freedesktop.org slightly. What it did include was the Subject
field from the original mail. I made the mailing list software put the
address of each recipient into the Subject field as it was sending out
mails, and when I got the «we'll get back to you» email, it had the
offending address in the subject field and I could unsubscribe them.
The offender has been removed and all is now good, please go back to
your regularly scheduled discussions. :-)
Regards,
cool!!
