AFAICT the linux-mediatek list isn't configured to automatically
moderate messages from non-subscribers. Its generic_nonmember_action
setting is 'Accept'. That is the default setting for lists on
infradead.org and I strongly encourage list maintainers to leave it
that way.

Lukas, I don't see your address in the allowlist either.

There are other reasons why some messages get might trapped for
moderation — the message size, number of recipients, spam score, etc.

The mere fact that *some* messages are moderated does not mean that the
list is "moderated for non-subscribers" in the sense that the
MAINTAINERS file lists.

I think we should be fixing the ones that *do* say it's moderated for
non-subscribers, not the one that correctly didn't :)
