Indeed, unsubscribed E-mail address wait for human approval before they
go to all of us, the mailinglist subscribers.

I do my best to keep the moderation delay short. That means that an even
only slightly syslinux (or tftp-hpa) related message gets granted to get
through. My critiria for "only slightly related to this ML" is simple:
"that is surely not spam".

When I feel the need for it and my personal time has room for it, I take
the effort to inform the poster what is going on  ( discussion slows down,
manual intervention needed, that is it a spam defence )

The moderation of unsubscribers is mostly discarding spam. My reason
for doing this donkey task, is taking some of the workload from hpa,
so to the benefit of the project.
