Sorry, I was imprecise.

That's a violation of policy. Please see the IESG statement on spam policy; someone needs to be approving non-member postings for IETF working group lists.
"allow posting without manual intervention" - the mailing lists I've administered for IETF had two settings, "allow posting by non-members" and "hold postings by non-members for approval".
What I was trying to say was, this is probably sufficient for first feedback, but probably not sufficient for actually discussing a DISCUSS comment.
I've copied non-members asking for their feedback on technical questions a couple of times, and the discussion between people directly addressed and the rest of the mailing list gets badly of-of-sync very quickly, because directly addressed participants start responding to postings before they are approved, even with the most diligent mailing list admins.
Have a great day,
Spencer
