I'm a member of that list which is a straightforward mailing list
AFAIK (Disclaimer: I do have a google account but I can't remember if
that was necessary to sign up).

I've found it a very helpful list and I've learnt a lot being
subscribed to it despite being a +10yr user of vim. Even Bram Molenaar
posts there occasionally.
