Correct. In fact [1] can mislead people into thinking that subscribing to the maillist to receive an answer is unnecessary: There are many world-open mailing lists, meaning anyone can read everything that is posted, and participate in the discussions. Well, since one can read such answer via https://lists.debian.org such statement is not THAT far from the truth, but it's probably not that one means writing to the maillist.
