Hmm.  Sorry.  Maybe I hallucinated unsubscribing them or maybe I only
unsubscribed them from gcc-help or gcc-bugs.  They were still subscribed
to the gcc mailing list.  I didn't seem them on the gcc-regression
mailing list, though.

I've unsubscribed this person from every mailing list on the system and
added them to the global 'deny-subscribe' mailing list.  That's not
fully functional (I'm only testing it in the cygwin mailing list) but
eventually it will block specified addresses from unsubscribing.
