>The sponsor idea is interesting, though it would probably represent some bureaucracy
A potential problem with requiring a sponsor is some may not 'approve' of their contractor being on a mailing list - perhaps because they don't support the platform (thus see no value in the information exchanged here), for contractors - the COR may consider it a waste of time when the contractor should be working (we have to justify/document 8 hours or more of work each day, my contract rep has a tough time accepting "research resolution to xyz problem" as a valid work log entry) - I had to end run to get the internet block removed for the Apple Support Discussions boards (categorized as a chat site).

Keep it open, discipline on a case by case, if needed - like others, I haven't seen problematic posts.

Greetings,
The problem with a hard .mil/.gov rule is that it would block government contractors who lack such an email address. I'm here via that route and some manual vetting did occur when my initial automated attempt to subscribe was rejected. The sponsor idea is interesting, though it would probably represent some bureaucracy and a record keeping burden for someone.
So for expediency I'd also say to only lock it down if a problem arises. This list has a refreshingly high s/n ratio compared to some I'm on.
