Sorry, I'd only encountered lists that one subscribed to by emailing
them with the word subscribe in the subject or body (so I tried both.)  

I followed the link you provided below but the response to clicking the
"Send in the request" button after entering mailing list name
cygwin-allow (and my e-mail address) was:

   Cannot handle your mailing list request at this time...

   You did not provide a mailing list name, or you've entered a mailing
list     name which is not handled on sources.redhat.com.

Oh well.  I guess I'll have to work on the "getting a better mailer"
option.
