A filter plus subscriber restrictions largely satisfy this, as is evidenced
by the zero spam level on devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx  For the subscriber
restriction to work for a list like this one also requires an active
moderator, and that is a waste of time, IMO.

This is a very old topic.  XFree86 has made two annual releases since
then, and the next annual release, 4.6.0, will appear in early 2006.
This list has continued since then also.  XFree86's existence does not
depend on distributions, but on the individuals that continue to contribute
to its development.

The move to switch pre-dates the licensing changes, in spite of a popular
history rewrite to the contrary.
