The MOTUs have decided, in the absence of package subscriptions, to assign bugs to a moderated mailing list. I suggest taking this up with the MOTUs. There's nothing Launchpad can do about this, except implementing package subscriptions as a better way of sending mail about all bugs in a package.

I get this problem with other stuff (twice today) : "ubuntu-bugs" and "kernel-bugs", for example. Seems like any new bug, or new comment on a bug, becomes a moderated email, and this kind of "your message is being moderated" email gets sent to the author. Doesn't seem like a good idea :)

I think this got fixed when we added a Precedence: bulk header. Please re-open if any moderation message is caused by a bug comment.
