Actually it is not true that "anyone can sign up" for the
initiatives group.<br>
It expressly says:<br>

Yeah. There's unfortunately no way to limit create an "announce
only" list on g.d.o any other way (if you could limit "Create $foo"
permissions on g.d.o to just managers instead of all group members,
this would work, but you can't :\). It's important the content here
stay curated so that people actually follow it. The downside is that
RSS is the only option for subscribing, unfortunately. However,
anyone can comment on posts there and participate on discussions,
which is certainly the intent.<br>
<br>
As of this morning, I'm also piping the RSS feed from this group
into Drupal Planet, so that'll hopefully also help distribute
viability of these discussions to a wider audience going forward.<br>
