Because non-subscribers cross-post between linux-kernel and
cpufreq-list for eg. When this happens to moderated lists, the result
is a nuisance for both list admins, and anyone unfortunate enough
to be on the Cc: list.
People should not have to be subscribed to a list just to report a bug.
It's annoying as hell every time I come up with random patches, dig
out the contact address out of MAINTAINERS, and send patches to get
a 'you aren't subscribed yadayada' email back.
