I personally don't see much value in a *mailing-list* for delegates. In
PyCon Italy, we have a mailing-list for organizers and a newsletter (=
read-only mailing-list, if you prefer) for delegates/fans/followers,
with a very low and clean traffic.

By your description above, I propose that we simply turn europython@
into a newsletter so that non-moderators can't post (and we can then
link it with the "subscribe to newsletter" form in the website).
