That wern't me. I think it was Fred.

I think we're confusing distinct gimmicks: at the start, anyone could post to python-dev, but a subscription request had to be approved by the list admin. Only the latter has changed. I read Barry as asking about changing the former this time, while leaving the latter alone.

Yep. -Barry
