It took me a very long time to get signed up to the mailing list as well,
so I poked around on twitter back then to see if anyone could help me. I've
tried several times over the timespan of at least a year and I never
received a follow up after using the form. I'm not sure what changed, it
just worked eventually. I'm also still receiving a bunch of messages from
the mailing list in my spam folder (gmail), and there's not much I can do
about it. I would love to see a system replacing the mailing list, one
where we can reliably use things like markdown to properly quote and have
code blocks and have at least semi-decent threaded discussions.
