If you send to r-help at r-project.org and just wait for a moderator to approve
your post, it will get here eventually. r-help-request is a dead end.

However, the canonical way is to subscribe to the mailing list. You do this
using the link in the footer  (same one as for unsubscribing). Notice that you
can select to get the list in digest format (1 mail per day) or - as I think
most do - set up a filter rule in your mail reader to send messages to a
separate mailbox.

It is somewhat unfortunate that we have had to make unmoderated posting
members-only, but the amount of spam from non-member accounts is overwhelming
and the spam filters would inevitably let some false negatives through. (Even
member messages get held for approval from time to time due to false positives
in the filters.)

The Nabble interface was made unidirectional some months ago. This happened
because too many people didn't understand the differences between a forum
and a mailing list.
