Why do we want to block anyone from linaro-dev unless they are spamming (which would include being too-far off-topic)? Arguments about the admin load of moderation, or the difficulties of spam-filtering accurately on an open list, I can understand; but the idea that this list should be restricted to only suitably enlightened people by default seems wrong to me. It should be as open as we can practically make it, shouldn't it?
