Well, as I previously said. There's very few first comer contributions that actually can just be applied, and the rest requires discussion. And those need to happen somewhere where others have a chance to intervene. Doing that in GH would mandate committers watching it.
I'd *bet* that the number of new contributors that would think of doing so so is pretty close to zero. They'll suffer through the torrent of emails for a few days, and then unsubscribe. If we documented that as a basic step of a new "casual contributor guide", maybe?

either that, or just advise them not to subscribe, and to just accept slight moderation delay?

Doesn't the mailing list code send an email back saying that the email was delayed as sender isn't subscribed? I think that'll indicate to new people they'll did something wrong.

Putting it on the subscription page would probably help. With an explanation like "Some of these lists are high volume. It can be advisable to subscribe and disable email delivery, allowing to send emails without delay and receive replies."

I wonder if we could somehow subscribe just to a selected thread.

If you initiated the thread, it's easy -- given that we use Reply All. I think the solution to that is to finally implement the "resend this email to me" into the archives, so the user can do that to the last email in the thread and then hit reply on that.
