OTOH, one must be subscribed to said lists in order to participate. Those of
us who have varied interests are generally subscribed to more mailing lists
than we can handle by making timely, on topic and expert responses to the
list we are on. To demand that we subscribe to YAML just to participate in
your often petty squabbles over the color themes etc, is to be blunt, asking
for way too much. My present folder count in kmail is 49, more than screen
height
That depends on what level of participation you want. If you want to be
actively involved before something is revealed to the public at large
it makes very much sense to be subscribed to the list where that part of
Fedora is worked on.
If you want to provide suggestions or other feedback after the fact, then
it is appropriate to provide thoughtful comment to track or bugzilla
tickets (as appropriate for the specific team) with that feedback. That
feedback can then be incorporated when doing the design for the next
iteration. Or if your interest level has increased perhaps consider subscribing
to the list for a limited period of time to discuss your ideas with the team.
