Gmane has most of the Document Foundations lists (except developer and announce) set as public. 
If you subscribe to this list through gmane the message will be sent but will not get posted to 
the list. No bounce message will be sent to the poster.

The new user will wonder what happened to their message and blame the project. Imagine this is 
on the user list with a newcomer trying to get help. They likely will get rid of LibreOffice if 
they perceive that they can't get help. Very unprofessional.
