Sometimes (s)he is, sometimes not. You don't need a subscription
to post here. This is a conscious decision, to lower the entry
threshold (I haven't contributed to that decision myself, but I
do support it wholly).

This is irrelevant. The above, when someone not subscribed posts a
question, that's what counts here.

Sorry. I'm not clicking on a github link until there is a strong
reason to do so.

This discussion comes up here from time to time. It hasn't reached
a clear consensus yet: it's far more complex that it seems, because it
involves mail user agents and the interpretation of not-quite-standard
mail headers.
Do some research on the mailing list archives, and you'll see what
I mean :-)

To be honest, I'm a bit rubbed the wrong way when you request a
discussion (good!) and come with the result of the discussion ("to
add one more additional code of conduct...").
There will be other positions here, and I expect of everyone to
at least understand the others people's points.
Cheers
