this "solution" is worse than the problem.
a project should maintain an open mailing list (or another open channel)
where users can report issues without having to subscribe to a mailing list.
E.g., the CLISP project has a developer list clisp-devel
(subscriber-only) and a user clisp-list (open list) where anyone can
post. we do get spam, but aggressive filtering has kept it to a minimum.

by closing the mailing list you are cutting off many users who (like I
do) read the list on gmane without subscribing. this is a very bad idea.
