That means it's not a subcriber-only list -- the message wasn't rejected,
just subjected to moderation.
So maybe it would be more precise to have something like this:
-L: [email protected]
+L: [email protected] (moderated)
Perhaps. In these spamridden days, mailinglists that don't have the kind of
(human and other) resources behind them that linux-kernel has basically have
the choice between drowning in spam, becoming subscriber only or moderate
non-subscribers and of these, that third option is "best among the bad".
alsa-devel for example also went this route -- the spam levels simply
weren't tolerable anymore for any subscriber and the list was dying as a
result. Moderation sucks, but subcriber-only sucks even worse (generally,
and/but even more so for lists that expect crossposts from linux-kernel) so
what's a small-time list to do.
Moderation takes some effort so the lists that moderate have made the
explicit choice to not become subscriber-only. While subscriber-only
certainly is useful to mention alongside the list address itself, I'm not
too sure mentioning moderation makes a great deal of sense actually -- if
all's well, the moderator will simply approve it and you don't have to deal
with it other than that.
