Sorry, that is my fault. The Sign Up page is used to create an (django)
"account" on the site. Which you can then connect to your email address
with which you are subscribed to a list. It was constantly abused and
caused a constant stream of "sign up" emails to random addresses.
And again apologies, someone contacted me directly about it too and I
now understand why disabling that Sign Up page was a mistake. If you
are looking at the archives it looks like the only way to subscribe and
on the contribute page we point to the archive, not the list info page
(where there is a very clear subscription form). So I have pushed this:

spammers cannot abuse so easily. This is indeed confusing and makes it too hard for people
