It went to the mailing list and the Gmane newsgroup without me seeing

Ah ! Gmane's subscription address ? If I put the mod flag on that then
every poster would effectively be "moderated" wouldn't they ? 

Though your next paragraph suggests that that wouldn't happen.

okayed to join the mailing list.

me.
