Even if this would be possible, the unsubscribed user will not get 
replies from people posting to the list only for accident or because 
they reply to an answer by a subscribed poster.

And additionally this would be superfluous if the OP subscribed to the 
list (at least for the time (s)he is interested in replies).

What seems to be necessary is describing the OP how a mailing list and a 
volunteer community works. That's what I do on the OOo lists I'm 
moderator (art and branding) by a direct (standardized) mail to the OP [1].

I think it is (nearly?) as important as getting more people to use 
LibreOffice to show them how our community works and invite them to 
join. Every new community member brings more new users to our product 
and keeps the community alive.

People not interested in joining the mailing list just need to have a 
look at the archives - depending on their preferences on Gnome, 
mail-archive.com, or our own archive (once it is searchable...).

Best regards

Bernhard
