The rules are straightforward but a revision of terminology might help.

Scope and topic are distinct concepts.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scope#Noun sense 1.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/topic#Noun senses 1 and 2.

Better to state, 
"Keep posts on-scope. We set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS 
topics."  

Ie. FreeDOS topics are within the scope of the list.  "Bug 194564 in 
Debian Linux" is a genuine topic but certainly off-scope.

Regards,                           ... P.
