The service which hosts the other mailing list seems to not be taking
new lists. This was a problem when Rob tried to set up the list, and we
agreed using a Google group should be okay, based on these criteria:

 - I made sure list archives can be viewed without a Google account.
 - I made sure list archives can be searched without having a Google
 - account.
 - I also made sure Google groups can be subscribed to without a Google
   account, though evidentally this particular list isn't configured to
   do that right now.

As Kevin Cox pointed out, Google groups can be subscribed to by mailing:

  nix-security-announce+subscribe at googlegroups.com

I've tested this method, and it also doesn't work.

I'm working with Rob to get this fixed. I'm very sorry my good news has
been tarnished with this subscription issue!

Thank you for your patience,
Graham Christensen
