There's been some talk off-list about changing the posting rules for python-dev, such that non-member post attempts are automatically rejected (i.e. bounced). This means you'd have to be a member to post to the list. I think that's not an inappropriate rule for python-dev.

Personally I don't see that python-dev has a problem with non-member postings. There's the occasional post that should have been sent to python-list, but that happens only once a week or so, and usually there's only one "wrong list" reply.

I tend to prefer members-only only for lists where the signal-noise ratio drops below 90% or less. Even with the current virusstorm python-dev seems to keep doing pretty good.
