Thanks for your vote [to make the list subscriber-only]
If it weren't for SpamAssassin running on my ISP's servers, and SpamSieve at my end, all you'd see would be a hand waving feebly out of a huge pile of spam. So I'm glad I _could_ vote!
I think it's our only choice. Over 65% increase in spam recently, and it's no longer an amateur activity: it's organized crime [2]. :(
I agree, the only benefit users have is that they can freely post messages here and imo if they want to report a bug in translation or offer some help, then the registration will not be a problem for them.
Nearly all the project lists I'm subbed to are subscriber-only. I think it's what most people expect nowadays. As far as new users or people not expecting sub-only are concerned, we can keep an eye on the moderation queue for a month or so, and see how many genuine emails we get. I would be willing to help with that.

My deepest apologies milady. I realized that right after pressing "send" button. Feel free to choose any punishment you see appropriate for this terrible mistake :)

It's an easy mistake to make, and with the stats for female participation in free software so low, it's an understandable error, as well.
