1) those lists have developed great functionality in the normal post / reply process that does not require subscription. Thus if I am directed to the btrfs list for a question, I can just post and not have to subscribe.
You can have that for any list on lists.o.o. For now most of them don't want to rely only on the spam filter, they want real protection with a subscriber-only setup.
You can also shut down the lists to get 100% protection against spam. IOW, what kind of argument is that?
And in general how much sense does it make to post to a mailinglist you are not subscribed to? After all its about public discussion.
On developer mailing list, it's common practice to CC random developers that might not be subscribed to the mailing list (and might not be connected to the project at all, but to an upstream project instead). I'm not sure if googling for information on how to subscribe, sending two mails to subscribe and then sending the actual reply that would otherwise take 20 seconds to compose, fits the definition of "public dicsussion". At least opensuse-{factory,packaging,kernel} and maybe other lists should be open to non-subscribers, the current setup simply sucks.
