I interact with this list as newsgroup gmane.comp.python.ideas via 
news.gmane.org. The first post, which can be (and usually should be) a 
reply to an existing post, requires that one respond to an email to the 
from address. This is the miminum necessary to protect from spam. No big 
deal.

Google mail and google groups are main gateways for spam on python list. 
We do not need that here.
