I've tried to subscribe to legal-discuss and post a message, but I was
unlucky so far. Since this is a private list, is there any special way to
subscribe? I've sent an e-mail using my apache address to
legal-discuss-subscribe@apache.org, received an e-mail asking for
confirmation, then nothing... Any idea?
