debian-user is definitely open.  Almost all Debian lists are.

"Moderation" usually means that some natural person reads and approves
or disapproves every item.  That's clearly not the case here.  What the
actual policy is, as you say, unclear.  It appears that the listmasters
occasionally block a poster and occasionally block a thread.  This may
have been duscussed on some obscure (but public) list I don't know
about.
