Problem: moderating needs manpower.
Problem: closing the list to non-subscribers would IMNSHO hurt Debian a lot
- especially this list.
(As discussed to death every other month, so let's not discuss that here.)
Changing the Reply-To header of d-s-a is a cheap solution to avoid ticketing
system autoacks, and IMHO doesn't impose any big cost on regular use of the
lists. Obviously this is only my €0.02.
Filtering for typical ticketing system headers and Subject prefixes would be
another possibility, but I'd think there are too many different systems out
there that this would ever be effective.
