I do not think there is a miscommunication here. First, someone gets an
e-mail saying that your message "waits for moderator's approval". Then
you get a message saying that your "message was rejected by the
moderator because you are not subscribed to the list".

Mind it, those were bug reports, not spam. I took your beta code, tested
it, saw real bugs and problems and wrote bug reports BECAUSE YOU
INCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO SO AND GIVE THOSE EMAILS IN THE DOCUMENTATION!!!

There is no place in the source tree docs that say the list is
moderated. It it had said so, I would have not wasted my time. I felt
really pissed off for waisting my time. BTW, other e-mails given in the
documentation just bounce. If you do not want people sending bug
reports, update your documentation. It is not polite to make people
waste their time!
