I think mailing lists is different from bug reporting.
That said, I think bug tracker can be open (not registration required),
and see if we receive too many bad tickets (I mean poor documented and
so on). If so, ask for registration.
On the other side, I would recommend to register if you are really
interested, because you will receive information about how the bug is
corrected. Or it can be a point of contact with the developer to ask for
clarifications, and so on.
My two cents on this.
Best regards, and Happy New Year for all!!.

I disagree with this point quite strongly, partially for idealogical
reasons (I think if you a project that makes it hard to report bugs is
blinkering itself), but also for practical ones. Registration is no
filter for quality content - just look at some youtube comments for an
example of that. What it will filter is the people who wanted to
report a bug they just found but aren't interested enough in the
software to remember what the bug is and exactly how to replicate it
when their subscription request arrives however many hours later. I
know there are lots of bugs in various projects I wouldn't have
reported if I'd not been able to do so immediately (and as mentioned
previously, many I didn't report for just that reason).
As to spam list-subscription requests - I can understand why you'd
moderate this, but at the same time, of the other lists I've been on
recently (i.e. QGIS-user, geoserver, geonetwork), they don't appear to
have moderation on subscription but still don't get spam to the list.
Not sure how they're doing that.
The other advantage to doing away with subscriber moderation is it's
one less thing for the devs to do.
Just a thought.

I don't agree. If we want quality bug files we expect people at least
taking the effort to register themselves, it's IMHO a minimum
requirement. Another example, if you would see the amount of spam
subscription requests to this mailing list we receive every week you
would understand why we need to moderate it.

As Jordi said this is a new facility being configured and polished
those days so as soon as we release it officially it will be properly
linked and so on.
Thanks for your comments!
