RE: [Python-Dev] Proposed: change to posting rules for python-dev

[Chris and Ann Reedy]

I recently subscribed to the list after reading from the web site for several months. I wonder if the proposed policy will end up cutting off postings from people who follow the list but aren't otherwise subscibed,

It would, but you could subscribe and then immediately disable email delivery for your subscription (so you'd still be a list member, and so allowed to post, but wouldn't get any email from the list).

and if that's good or bad.

It depends on which posts get bounced <wink>. I get so many spams, worms, etc, that I wouldn't notice the difference if python-dev stopped leaking them. Presumably other people would notice.
