Not only that, it is also just misconfigured.
Mail-headers contain:

List-Archive: </pipermail/mageia-dev>

Thankfully there also is

List-Subscribe: <https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev>,
<mailto:mageia-dev-request at mageia.org?subject=subscribe>

And that in turn has a archive-link.

But also moderators of the list need to be setup, or the list needs to
be configured to immediately reject mails from non-subscribers.

None of my mails where I forgot to set correct from-address was
approved by a moderator, and for none of those there was a
notification that it would have been rejected.

So if you don't want mails from non-subscribers or have no moderators
to process mails → configure the list accordingly.
