Well, if you sent to that address that is your problem. All the documentation
does mention that you should send to:
debian-devel-digest-REQUEST@lists.debian.org

your request.
Perhaps someone decided to mass subscribe you to a number of lists, the
confirmation steps avoids you being subscribed and receiving a large
number of unwanted messages.
