Hrm. This being the dev list, I don't see why the newbie issue is a
problem. In addition, if a newbie does not wish to subscribe, there
are always the forums and IRC. Forums require registration, and IRC
requires at least a minimum of effort, why not mailing lists?
Is subscribing to a list really so much to ask?

I have multiple accounts, and requiring subscription doesn't
cause me any problems. What exactly are you referring to here?
