http://stop.zona-m.net/2010/11/a-proposal-for-effective-volunteer-friendly-user-support-in-libreoffice/ please note that I explicitly acknowledge in that page that "it is unavoidable that such a support list must accept (after moderation) even messages from unsubscribed users". So (in this case) I agree with you that non-subscribers messages must pass. This said, the "OOo list history" is there. What may be learned from it is up to the reader. And, of course, what can actually be done today by LibO to not repeat those particular mistakes depends on the available infrastructure.
