I guess so.  Perhaps it should be renamed to "Give Feedback."

I always find submenus inconvenient to select from; am I the only
one?  Is it because I rarely do that?

I suggest

  Mail a question to help-gnu-emacs.

  > - Join the Help GNU Emacs mailing list

  > - Leave Help GNU Emacs mailing list

I think the last two are not needed.  If a user finds out about
help-gnu-emacs, perse can decide to join.  Also, that command could
display, in some way, guidance on how to subscribe or unsubscribe.

Having fewer options could permit a more convenient interface for
choosing an option.
