lists hosted on lists.gnu.org shouldn't use a subscriber-only setup anyway.  it creates extra backscatter and thus increases the chance of blacklisting.  (and there are other reasons for GNU lists, although that's not relevant for lwip.)

I don't know if there is some rationale about keeping the posting policy off the public pages.  That'd be a question for mailman.  But since getting mailman updated on lists.gnu.org is not going to happen any time in the foreseeable future, this all seems a moot point.

I don't think this feature is implemented in Mailman. This is probably to first thing to do. This isn't even clearly conveyed when subscribing, so maybe there's a rationale.

To avoid further situations of wasted time, like in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-users/2009-05/msg00002.html where I tried to forward a misdirected email to a list I wasn't subscribed to either, but then received the quoted rejection, I propose that the stanzas for each mailing list on Savannah projects' Mailing Lists pages indicate whether a list is for subscriber-only posting or whether it is open for everyone (whether moderated through listhelper or not doesn't matter in this case).  This bit of information should be deducible from each list's mailman configuraion, I think.
