Can the defaults be configured? Because now the config is this: - Which topic categories would you like to subscribe to? (default: "pep" not checked) - Do you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter? (default: No) So, happens the following (happened to me, je): You subscribe to the list, and confirm the registration, and you never get a message unless you change this.

However, there is an additional line in the description: "If no topics of interest are selected above, then you will receive every message sent to the mailing list." In other words, don't check any topics, and you get everything. If you do check a topic, you only get the messages belonging to that topic. This seems to me a reasonable default.
