docs/manual/contribute.adoc: mention mailing list subscription requirement

Browse Source 
The mail address used to contribute via buildroot mailing list
is required to be subscribed to the mailing list. Otherwise,
messages sent to the mailing list will be automatically rejected,
as server only accepts email from mailing list subscribers.

This behavior is not explicitly stated in the documentation
for contributors (aside from recommendation to subscribe
as the first thing for contributor to do). This may lead to an
unpleasant surprise to developers, who prefer reading mailing
lists using archives.

Add mention of mailing list subscription requirement to 'Preparing
a patch series' section of contribution manual.
