Hmm, do we mean the same "moderation" here?

I believe a mailing list with the remark "moderated for non-subscribers" 
means that a mail from an address that has not subscribed to the mailing 
list is put on hold and needs to be manually permitted to be seen on the 
mailing list.

Matthias, is that also your understanding of "moderated for 
non-subscribers" for your Reviewed-by tag?

I am not subscribed to linux-mediatek. When I sent an email to the list, 
it showed up really seconds later in the lore.kernel.org of the 
linux-mediatek public-inbox repository. So, either it was delivered 
quickly as it is not moderated or my check with lore.kernel.org is wrong, 
e.g., mails show up in the lore.kernel.org archive, even they were not
yet permitted on the actual list.
