Denying posts for non-members isn't the right solution IMHO. There could be people who write patches, want to send it to the list and aren't subscribed. Or want to ask something without being subscribed. > Really, at this stage of development, asking users to sign up to the > list before posting is not that much to ask.

I know people who don't write the mail then if they find it out, I think I would do the same if the thing doesn't bother me much. I'm already subscribed to too many lists. > Can't *someone* please change the list to members only? IMHO, no.
