This is the first time your address is seen to the mailing list.
Spammers like to subscribe and then post messages to scam the "must be
subscribed to post" filters which renders them useless.  Therefore all
new subscribers are moderated until they post a valid message.  After
the initial valid email posting then you are unmoderated subsequently.

It looks like you posted your message at 09:31:53 -0600 and it was
delivered at 15:24:07 -0600.  Volunteers are sometimes busy with jobs
and life.

Additionally the network through the lists.gnu.org machine is often
saturated delivering email especially when people attach multimegabyte
files (log files, pictures, screenshots, pdfs, random things) that are
delivered to hundreds or thousands of subscribers multiplying the
bandwidth significantly.  That will often cause the mailing list to
have long delays in being able to deliver all mail through it even
small ones.  To curb that problem large emails are also held for
moderation.

Additionally there has until recently been a problem where the mailing
list machine would inappropriately think it was overloaded and
throttle delivery until the load subsided.  That was also causing long
mailing list delivery delays to appear out of the blue.  That
particular problem has been fully mitigated now.
