Description Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-02-13 19:10:00 UTC
I was quite surprised to see that the mailing list documentation does not
note, very early on, which mailing lists are moderated.  This seems like
a bug to me, especially with the "everyone is encouraged to subscribe"
sentence at the beginning of the list.

Although I'm a doc committer, and thus could do this directly, I'd rather
see other people's opinions first.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
