Since the help requests were published on top of the localized AOO homepages there were a lot of new volunteers for localization, and this is good news. The problem is that the mentioned request is written in a way so that people understand to write directly to the mailing list without being subscribed, generating "a lot of" work for moderators and some confusion for who wants to reply.

So I propose that instead of writing "You can send a note to our mailing list, [email protected], if you want to volunteer or if you have questions." just ask to join the mailing list pointing to a page section like this: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html#localization-mailing-list
What do you think?

Else, for the more skilled email-client users, there is a way to mark automatically the messages coming from unsubscribed users by adding a filter to the client, matching the header "Delivered-to" containing the word "moderator", as Andrea said in a previous thread.
