So, when a new person attempts to subscribe to this list (say, a
Debian or ASF
developer), someone is going to check this person's FOSS credentials
before
membership is accepted, right? How is this going to be organised and
will there
be objective criteria for "well known"?
Adding a restriction like this would be really bad, since a lot of users
are "worthy" of devel-status and can produce occasional patches or
propose/discuss stuff relevant for development, even though the don't
own a FOSS project?!?
This would effectively narrow the number of people who can (try to)
influence the project.

Re-reading the original mail, I realized that I may have misunderstood
the "restriction"?!? Making posts from *the world* moderated is probably
not going to be a huge issue. As long as it's *possible* to subscribe
and post for everyone.
