It means people cannot post to this list unless they are subscribed.
Which means a lot of legitimate posts from outsiders (like upstream
authors, representatives of various spec/standards organizations, etc.)
would be lost.
Come on, it's only a few pieces every so often. It's not like it takes
all that much effort to delete it. Actually a lot less effort than
typing the email you just sent, which could have deleted some 73 spam
emails (and I'm not even including the shift key you had to hit for the
*, ? and capital letters).
