This is the only hunk where I'd like confirmation from one of the list
admins before you push (in case I'm wrong on list policies actually in
place). But everything else looks good to me.
The dev & user lists should both be listed as *requiring* subscribing
before posting. Sometimes I will manually mark email addrs sent for
modetration as allowed to post without subs, eg if we're having a
discussion that is cross-posted to qemu-devel or similar, but we
should tell users to subscribe otherwise their emails can easily sit
in the moderation queue for days or weeks at a time or just be dropped
entirely as spam is purged.
