Really? So IDE maintainers have to subscribe before when they want to
discuss ARM&CF issues? Sleep maintainers have to subscribe when they
want to discuss sleep&ARM?

You are offending people by first adding unneccessary & annoying steps
to their workflow, and then calling them "too stupid" if they don't
