The contact address for newbies at tug.org is tug-support@tug.org

Both are active and responsive. I agree that giving the tex-live 
as yet another contact address, as suggested by Art, is not a good idea.

It's not always obvious whether a subscription request comes from 
a newbie or not (unless one asks explicitly, which I'd like to avoid).
