If you allow non-registered to post to lists in general w/o moderation, you inevitably end up with spam being sent to the list. Otherwise, I agree with you and it _would_ be much nicer to allow unregistered users to post

Based on what I've seen so far to e.g. rsvp(a)ovirt.org (an open-to-any-poster list) and in the moderation queues, it will be nearly zero time until the spam starts. It's several pieces a day, each list, some days several multiples of that, and it seems to be growing in intensity.

I would prefer people to have to subscribe to avoid spam.

IMHO a new project should be friendlier to the community than for its maintainers. The kernel, qemu, kvm, xen and more manage to handle the spam alright.
