The list moderator asked him to add his email address to the list, and
indicated that as a result of doing so his mail would be unmoderated. Is it
so hard to do?
frankly, it's ridiculous to expect people to subscribe to every list to which
they
wish to contribute.
for example, if there were a working group trying to break IPv4 so that simple
unauthenticated IPv4-enabled light switches could exist, it would be quite
reasonable for people outside that group to want to make comments to that
group to discourage them from breaking IP or apps that use IP. those outside
contributors should not have to be subjected to mail about how great it will be
when those apps are broken but we have IP-enabled light switches.

p.s. yes this group does exist, and their documents are before the IESG.
