Well, excuse me for being distracted by all the mirror-related
questions :-)

Perfect! I have nothing against using this variant.

I agree with you, but you email looked more like "hey, what's with that
mirror of yours" and less like a wording problem. Excuse me for being
defensive, but you described *no* wording issues or even any word
related to "wording" in your last email.

Shall I re-prepare the patch now, or there is something else I should
take care of in the paragraph?

I am thinking since yesterday about customizing Mailman a bit, in order
to avoid such often situations. So far, my only workable idea was to
have it send an extra string in signature or headers, if the sender is
subscribed, so one can easily see if sender is subscribed or not when
replying. Rough idea, work in progress...
