I've still seen a few. Most drive by contributors generally don't subscribe to the list. Since most lists are moderated, the mail usually makes it through whether they are subscribed or not. That how most projects work. I'm not subscribed to every kernel subsystem list, but my messages usually make it through. If we are proposing to do away with the mailing list, what is the plan for non-patch discussions? Opening issues in gitlab?
