Great, we can rely on you looking at the "pending moderator requests".

This is also maintained on our side, mostly by Cyril. When I notice valid mail
(there is a lot of spam of course) I approve the sender to be able to send
without a subscription.

I got used to mailing lists on lore.kernel.org to which one can post without any
subscription. Also kernel developers got used to it (as they often send to LTP
ML without a subscription). But I'm never sure if the "pending moderator requests"
on other MLs is actively monitored.

Kind regards,
Petr
