I find subscriber-only lists annoying and elitist, and I don't subscribe
to them.

My company explicitly rewrites all my email so that it comes with a
different From and Reply-To than I want to use to receive my mail.
There is nothing I can do about this.

This makes is difficult or even impossible for me to use subscriber-only
lists the way that I want to receive mail.

Savannah doesn't support forums; the site explicitly says they're not
needed since we have mailing lists.

I agree with them: web-based forums suck compared to mailing lists.  I
wish more SourceForge groups would use mailing lists instead of forums;
the forums are annoying in the extreme.
