post approval without subscription request

Hi Michael,
The feature you seek is not supported by our current mail-list engine, which is EOL or WP-EOL, depending on your perspective.
We are currently evaluating a variety of new service options, so your request is timely. I'd be happy to add this feature to to our consideration, and equally happy to hear your recommendations for systems that support it.
Thanks,
Scott...

Hi Michael,
I don't work with the mailing lists so I am copying Scott and Robin who manage them. I'm not sure what is possible so asking them to weigh in.
Best,

Many people complain about this - a person might want to contribute only  once - send a message but not to get unrelated traffic on the list.
It might seem like a small issue, but it is a big barrier  to participation by communities such as the linux kernel  community, which have etiquette rules against subscriber-only  mailing lists. As a result virtio is forced to use an  external list for development discussion, which is far from  ideal.
It would be very benefitial, at least for lists such as virtio-dev  which we use for virtio, if instead of requiring people to  subscribe, the list software would  - send back a message requesting agreement to IPR rules  - after person agrees to IPR rules, let the message through,    and add the sender to list of addresses allowed to post
Is this something that can be added?
Thanks,
