Christian,
 
NoOp refers, I think, to what I summarized in this post last November,
just to not rewrite it every time these discussions come up:

http://stop.zona-m.net/2010/11/a-proposal-for-effective-volunteer-friendly-user-support-in-libreoffice/
 
please note that I explicitly acknowledge in that page that "it is
unavoidable that such a support list must accept (after moderation)
even messages from unsubscribed users". So (in this case) I agree with
you that non-subscribers messages must pass.
 
This said, the "OOo list history" is there. What may be learned from
it is up to the reader. And, of course, what can actually be done
today by LibO to not repeat those particular mistakes depends on the
available infrastructure.

Marco
