That's a standard remark on an automagically generated page. It applies to other, more technical lists involving current development. It's perhaps a bit unfortunate that it appears on the pages for all FreeBSD lists, including the ones it doesn't apply to. But don't let it scare you off: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (or -questions for short) is the list you are looking for. See you there, Alphons -- All right, that does it Bill [Donahue].
