Really? Ok, I'll explain: Many/most people familiar with collaboratively-edited resources such as Wikis or Q&A sites expect either immediate ability to edit content, or a requirement of at most website registration. What this line is telling visitors is (with slight over-dramatization): "Don't expect to be able to edit existing content on this page, ever. Don't expect to easily add content to this page, ever. If you want to even add anything to this page, you have to increase your level of commitment to that of being a mailing list member. You'll have to talk to people on that mailing list. You'll have to convince them your addition is important. Then maybe it'll be added." - this amounts to telling most people to go away.
