It's a subscriber-only mailing list with (system-wide) exception for Debian role accounts (BTS, PTS, DAK...). > 2) Is there moderation in place for those who are not allowed to post? No. I don't object to it, but nobody volunteered. I don't have time to volunteer myself. > 3) Would moderation of non-suscribers (or just a rejection of > non-negative SA scoring mails) be feasible? Moderation would be feasible if someone volunteers to do it. Rejection would be feasible if this is appropiately tuned to garantee a neglectable amount of false negatives. Even then, I don't see the advantage in comparison with a subscriber-only policy. Note that before this policy was adopted, this list was an horrible, unusable mess. I think more than 90% of its content was spam. In upstream GRUB we've adopted this policy as well, for many years now, and it's been completely uncontroversial. -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
