It's clearly billed as a public list on its main page... it states "To 
post a message to all the list members, send email to cvsnt at cvsnt.org.".

Requiring subscription is a pain in the neck and would just stop people 
posting...  however I've only had this happen twice before and the other 
two times the people emailed privately, asked nicely and I removed the 
message after noting that there was no way to remove the message 
completely (they gave reasons too, eg. in one case there was a private 
phone number in the signature.  "I've got a bogus legal disclaimer on my 
message" doesn't cut any ice with me at all).
