I don't agree. Many people have used the posting feature on typo3.org. Just
grep your newsgroup cache for "maillisttofaq" which appears in all headers
of such messages.

Spam is not a problem as long as we require a login for posting there (if
possible, this should be synchronized with typo3.org's fe_users).

Sure they do. I have a search engine running on
http://lists.netfielders.de/, however this one is still buggy and I never
had time to look at it again (though it seems to become urgent these
days)...
