TY for your help. I've taken part of Andy Smith's advice & emailed 

 postmaster@lists.debian.org

& included info from Firefox's page-specific console (when I tried to
reload the  https://lists.debian.org/  page). The info shows both the
request & response headers; and cookie values.

I do think that - a couple of times - when I've clicked the reload
button I've briefly seen the word "Challenge" appear before the
"Forbidden" page appears.  But if there's a page with some sort of
human-do-able challenge ...? why am I not seeing it in full?   The
request headers (for:  https://lists.debian.org/  ) include

I've not installed any extension which might or might not allow me to 
alter the User-Agent string-- for four reasons: (1) I'd have no idea
what to change it to; (2) I don't want to break sessions with other
sites I use; (3) changing the UA wouldn't represent what other users
of FF do - it should work for every real person; (4) I really don't
like complicating things with possibly buggy extensions.
