Well, I already started by filing this bug, but point taken.

Really? Ok, I'll explain: Many/most people familiar with collaboratively-edited
resources such as Wikis or Q&A sites expect either immediate ability to edit
content, or a requirement of at most website registration. What this line is
telling visitors is (with slight over-dramatization): "Don't expect to be able
to edit existing content on this page, ever. Don't expect to easily add content
to this page, ever. If you want to even add anything to this page, you have to
increase your level of commitment to that of being a mailing list member.
You'll have to talk to people on that mailing list. You'll have to convince
them your addition is important. Then maybe it'll be added." - this amounts to
telling most people to go away.
