As fas as I know, Debian lists don't use mailman. But either way:
everybody can send mail to the lists, you don't have to be a subscriber.
It's just a good idea to subscribe to the no-traffic-list "whitelist" in
order to make it past the spam filters:

You placed the request at exactly the right place, it's just that I
think you can achieve what you want without actually subscribing to any
list at all.
