Subscription management

A mailing list unsubscription link is included in the header of each mail (see here for details).
History
pgsql-hackers has been in existence since at least 1997, and probably since around the time Postgres95 came into being as an independent open source project.
The oldest message archived dates from June 1997 (Re: [HACKERS] Array bug is still there....), though from the context it is obviously not the first email to be posted to the list.
