you're missing the point. one shouldn't have to jump through extra
hoops (even if they're trivial to jump through) just to contribute
to a working group discussion.
Please note: one doesn't have to jump through hoops.
At any rate, I've opened up the mailing list, not because
the arguments here have been particularly (or even mildly)
compelling but because the notification that's sent to
people whose messages are being held for manual release
is misleading and a tad obnoxious and it can't be edited
by the list admin. Better to get rid of it completely.
