And I omitted: The moderator must then verify that the committer is authorized to subscribe to that list. Members can always subscribe to any list. Non-members can only subscribe to lists that their role entitles them to. For PMCs, PMC members can subscribe to priv...@project.apache.org lists. For Incubator, IPMC members can subscribe to any priv...@podling.apache.org lists. For podlings, PPMC members can subscribe to priv...@podling.apache.org lists. Craig P.S. I just tried to find documentation for the authorization for subscribing to PPMC mail lists and could not find it. So others might have a different opinion of who may subscribe to PPMC private lists. Or others might be able to find incubator policy that supports (or contradicts) my view. > > I'm personally responsible for moderating subscription lists and while it's > somewhat of a nuisance, it's manageable.
