That is what it says, so you're doing what you should do. We don't have a
mailing list policy, so it's essentially free-for-all. The -dev/-user
split currently serves little purpose except allow for cross-posting.

That's not to say we're not going to get a suitable mailing list policy in
the future. Currently, it's just not on the top of our priority list.

As we've disabled the horrible reply-to munging, you don't have to do
subscribe or be forced to read the web archives anymore, as long as people
follow their mailers' default practice about replying to all senders, you
will get a proper and timely response.
