I believe its the way it currently is because hub.org has multiple mailing
lists, and pgsql-related ones are only a subset. Its a normal majordomo
behaviour to have access-control per list.

Majordomo is a pain in the rear to modify, from what I reckon. It'd be
nice if all pgsql-* lists shared one allowed-poster-list, but not sure if
its easy to do.
