Yes, groups.io hosts a number of mailing lists and this is probably
the only thing they do, AFAIK. I am subscribed there to some hobbyist
astronomy ml's, some radio fans, maybe some more, I am not sure. So
far I do not think I got any spa,m because of that. 

One can subscribe via their web interface or via email, by sending
email to ${GRPNAME}[email protected] (and likewise, unsubscribe by
sending to ${GRPNAME}[email protected], but I have not tested
this one yet).

I have requested temporary login (as described on abovementioned page)
and got into front page, which describes ml for radio packet
hobbyists. Interesting.

If you detest JS (I do), I suggest to have additional user on your
machine whose only role is running browser with JS enabled. Because
sometimes one has got to enable it, even if the bulk of my browsing I
can do as another local user with nice feature-less browser.
