It does affect the openness of the list.  People who don't particularly
care about the parisc project, but happen to notice an infelicity in the
port should not have to do anything more complex than send an email to
an address.  Forcing them to visit a URL or send a second email makes
them not bother, and tell other people how much we suck.
