No it's not. I am NOT willing to subscribe to lists and I'm sure many people feel the same. We all have more than enough mail "as is", and personally this is the one and only WMF list I'm still reading exactly because of its tolerably low traffic volume. Everything else went unsubscribed since long.

Lists are for people who want to make comments and exchange opinions. The one thing that IS needed here is a one-way newsletter. Something you can subscribe to without the need of getting all the social volume of a list in your box. Simply tell everyone what strings are needed for what in which date, no other stuff needed. No mailing lists, no IRC, no treasure hunting in meta, NO FLOOD.
