Unfortunately OASIS policies require you to subscribe to post.  I wish
there was a way to request post rights without actually subscribing. It
doesn't look like OASIS mailing list software supports that.  In this
case I'm guessing you can just ignore this, it should not matter that
this specific email did not make it to virtio-dev.
