Really? So IDE maintainers have to subscribe before when they want to discuss ARM&CF issues? Sleep maintainers have to subscribe when they want to discuss sleep&ARM?
You are offending people by first adding unneccessary & annoying steps to their workflow, and then calling them "too stupid" if they don't follow your stupid rules. (Sometimes subscribing takes _weeks_!)
