So then we give up the list as a useful place to get work done?  I think the
list should be composed of the members.  The "general purpose" mailing list is
the place of work for all intents and purposes.  Non-members are always welcome
to read the contents of the list, via an email digest or web based archive
format, but not necessarily have the right to post until they have been
verified.
