doc/mailing-list-faq: ffmpeg-devel is now subscription only Nobody is going to check the queue anymore, so users must now subscribe to send messages to ffmpeg-devel. This will prevent orphaned/ignored messages from rotting in the abandoned queue. This matches the behavior of ffmpeg-user and libav-user. Also, this addresses some other nits.
