Why are you creating these as mailing lists and not as

Because I expect it to be very low traffic, and I wouldn't expect
people to constantly have to check the n.g. to see if the beta is
available. It also gives feedback on who actually cares about the beta.
There's also the fact that there's a very small barrier to subscribing
to a mailing list - only people who are particularly interested in it
will bother. I've seen the mailing list approach used elsewhere because
of this, and it works well.
Why would you put up a barrier for beta-testing?
The concurrency mailing list I can understand (that's Andrei's thing).
