Hmm, I'm not sure, if you really understand why I don't want to do this.
I assumed it was because you don’t want to get email.
I created a portfile and opened a ticket, which in turn should have automatically sent a mail to people who process new submissions. But then I should still subscribe to a mailing list to be able to inform people about the new portfile and submission?
Committers must explicitly subscribe to macports-tickets. Some choose not to do so because it’s relatively high-volume. Unfortunately, the few of us who do subscribe sometimes overlook tickets.
Nothing personal, but this is idiotic.
If you say so.
I'm happy to write one email, but having to send an email, confirm my email, login to the mailman options page, change the delivery settings, and finally send the mail to the list seems a bit much, don't you think?
You only have to do that once.
Mailing lists have their purpose and I am subscribed to several in fact, but having to subscribe to fire off one single email is not why mailing lists exist.
This restriction is in place to mitigate spam. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51414#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
