You do not need to be subscribed to this mailing list, or any mailing list at vger.kernel.org, in order to post messages to them. If all you need is a simple answer to a question, or have a bug to report, but otherwise have no interest in reading the hundreds and hudreds of postings linux-kernel has every day, it's often better to not subscribe.
