For scikit-image we have to pre-approve all new posters and subscribers. The
posts are fine, but vetting subscribers is a pain because you can't just Google
every email to find out if it is legit.
The spammers are getting smarter; one of them recently used `kern` in their
name to get around our moderation :)
We've updated discuss.scientific-python.org to allow "Mailing list mode", which
should simulate what Matti and Chuck want (i.e., receiving emails for each
post, and being able to reply). You can enable it under your user profile if
you want to try it out.
