   In Python community it would be hard to enforce, as there is mail<=>news
gateway, and those who have created the policiy don't want to put
additional burden of subscribing for the news users. To some extent I agree
with the policy; Shibboleth's policy "subscriber only" prevents you being
spmmed by putting additionl burden to other users.
