There is. I'm on several other (non-python, but still using mailman)
mailing lists like that because they require you to be a subscriber to
post via gmane.

As an alternative, when you send them through can you put a note on the
bottom saying they're not subscribed, to remind people to CC them in
responses? I think that's why we never get any followup on "newbie
problem" questions (especially the crt dll thing and the modify remove
repair thing). A couple other lists I'm on do this and it works well. I
think most of the people who have objections to CC-ing are annoyed when
they *receive* messages CC'd *to them*, rather than objecting on
principle to doing it in reply to other people who aren't subscribed.
