The cygwin list has been open for around 23 years or so.  Making the
list subscriber-only (which seems to be what you're asking for) raises
the barrier to asking questions and impedes the purpose of a "help"
mailing list.  Moderation is an option but I doubt anyone really wants
to moderate every message here.
