The openSUSE mailing lists do not strike me as particularly open.
I have been contributing to free software projects for over ten years, but none I can remember appears as unfriendly when someone not subscribed to a list tries to post to that list.
What - exactly - is "unfriendly" about the message? I've been on various mailing lists since the '80s and have never noticed this list as being any more or less friendly than other subscriber-only lists.
Why do we have such a strict setup? As evidenced by hosts like gcc.gnu.org, it is possibly to keep lists spam free without it.
Considering you have a novell.com on your email, why don't you go talk to someone in your organization. It IS your list, after all.
