I looked over your website quite extensively, and nearly every page has : freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG at the bottom of the page, with no reference to it being a mailing list. It might be better to make it more clear who one can use at contacts. Since then, I've dug deeper and found a "who's responsible for what" page, but there is no indication of contacts on the top pages.
