The bug report statement is correct.  This is a moin limitation in that
we use "action = self.request.form.get"  and there is no "action =
self.request.form.post".  The entire site uses get except for an
explicit POST we put in that is there for login/logout.  Actual moin
code uses get for this as well.  Due to the location of this particular
get for subscribe and the way it's implemented, it is not easy to fix.
The portal is build through concatenation of a series of items, all
using get.

At this point I'm acknowledging that post would be the better behaviour
but I am not going to attempt a fix with the current theme. If we change
themes in the future it might be easier to override this.
