This is not an acceptable Debian list policy. All of our mailing lists are open to non-subscribers and spam is not a good reason to restrict one list - either we decide to do this for all mailing lists, or for none at all; recent discussions on -devel have shown that most people are against closing lists in such a way (which also meshes with what people said about -ctte recently). Various measures against spam have been implemented on lists.d.o recently and more are planned when we get a faster box, so this list should be opened again. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
