When I tried asking in private, I was told to stop complaining or loose my mailing list subscription. I'd prefer not to make that mistake again.

For lakml, held for moderation _does_ mean it will return with "posting rejected: no reason given" in few days. I have never seen any other result, and have got perfectly reasonable messages rejected with "no reason". So no, I do not believe there's cooperative human being moderating lakml.
