Attendees are no longer automatically added to this list. That was a
decision made based on the overwhelming preference of past attendees. There
is an announcement-only list that people are still added to, but it is
intended for very infrequent usage, involving critical announcements that
really do need to go to everybody attending. (And before you ask, no, the
arrival dinner arrangements don't, IMO, qualify as "critical".)

(Also, as somebody who sees the subscribe/unsubscribe notifications, I can
tell you the frequency of the latter are directly correlated with the
posting volume on the list. Seeing quite a few of them in the past couple
days...)

anyhoo, i just wanted to make sure i can reach and annoy all yapc people

You're currently only reaching people that have not yet opted out of being
annoyed by you. You'll have to wait until you're in SLC for the opportunity
to annoy all YAPC people.
