:-) I believe pretty much all kernel.org lists don't require joining.
And joining is actually pretty serious friction for some people - the
more lists I join, the more likely I am to abandon attempts to help if
I'm required to register.
That said, I'm very sympathetic to wanting people to join.
Certainly an automated response saying "you'll get a quicker response if
you subscribe", but I'm not sure whether forcing people to subscribe is
a good idea.
(Like I've seen plenty of lists ruined by aggressively trying to prevent
off-topic posts - all too often the unintended consequence is the loss
of on-topic posts too ...)
