+Mailing List Notes
+==================
+
+I wanted a place to keep notes about mailing lists.  I expect to keep
+adding notes here about the mailing lists.
+
+gnu-prog subscription requests?
+-------------------------------
+
+The [gnu-prog mailing list](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/admin/gnu-prog)
+is a moderated and private list.  Membership is moderated.
+
+Question: Is there a recipe for knowing when to approve and when to
+discard subscription requests?
+
+Answer from Karl:
+
+1. If the person is in the fp:/gd/gnuorg/maintainers file,
+    - ok to approve.
+2. If the person has an account on fencepost,
+    - ok to approve.
+3. If the person is a member of GNU package(s) on Savannah,
+    - ok to approve.
+4. When in doubt, ask address@hidden before approving.
