As fas as I know, Debian lists don't use mailman. But either way: everybody can send mail to the lists, you don't have to be a subscriber. It's just a good idea to subscribe to the no-traffic-list "whitelist" in order to make it past the spam filters: http://lists.debian.org/whitelist/ > I did the next thing I could think of - filed the bug/issue > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606466 You placed the request at exactly the right place, it's just that I think you can achieve what you want without actually subscribing to any list at all.
