[PATCH] mark islsm list as subscribers-only

[Johannes Berg]

This is bordering on stupid. I just received a bounce from it because
I'm not subscribed:

---begin mail---
Sorry, this list is for subscribers only. We previously held incoming
mail by non-subscribers for manual approval, but due to the increase
in spam this is no longer feasible.

If you are seriously attempting to send mail to the islsm developers
list, please subscribe to the list and re-send.
---end mail---

Or just remove it from MAINTAINERS as it obviously doesn't want mail.

I think that list was for the net80211 driver, not even sure if its
used actively for the mac80211 driver.

I'm fine with removing it completely, but having a list listed that
simply drops your mail (not without spamming you, of course) is just not
useful.

ACK -- we can create a new list too which we are sure is for p54. Michael?

I do cc that list, and it's useful since some people who know the firmware and 
hardware very well are on the list. However, subscriber only lists aren't 
acceptable in MAINTAINERS AFAIK, so we need to remove it. Not sure if there's 
a better solution. We just need a list which isn't subscribers only.. if a 
list hosted somewhere else can help with that, I think everyone on islsm 
should be migrated there.

Hi,

If there's already a list fitting the need, then please remove islsm
from the maintainers. Else, I can switch the list to whatever
configuration you please, and add a spam filter...
