Granted, some people don't have good access to web hosting resources.

This is a public list, with public archives. This isn't a consideration.

If you know how to put content on a webserver, this isn't really a hurdle.

Why?

Not sure what you mean by this.

I don't disagree that it can be difficult for some, but I doubt there
are that many Aunt Tillies on this list. Perhaps some of the Security
Focus lists, but full-disclosure? Aunt Tillie would last about 24 hrs
on this list before unsubscribing due to the shear volume of crap here.
Including the administrivia we are now discussing. ;-)
