Answering part of the question to myself, some of these lists are monitored by the the debian bts as far as I know, and it makes sense for those lists to allow posts from non-subscribed adresses. However, I am not really able to tell why this kind of users is allowed to post here. A pointer to a previous discussion would be enough for me, but I couldn't find one in the archives (maybe I'm using the wrong keywords in the search).
