Sorry for being so annoyed. While I think the subscription shouldn't
have happened, I should have been more polite while saying it.

I agree that it is an important list, but I disagree that forcing
subscriptions on people is the best way. As an analogy, Debian
developers are required to read debian-devel-announce, but they may do
it via any means they prefer, they don't need to be subscribed
(especially not via an address specified by the project). This is a much
nicer way of doing things.
Anyway, no harm done. Let's have a good conf.
