Link : http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters (users must be logged in to see this dropdown)
An approach : Something small and tidy aligned to a corner ( right, above the table ) with a Go button. Opinions ?
Can be a possible Google-Code-In-2015 task too.

I don't think this task is a good Google Code-in candidate:
Also, we cannot get any external help to fix this problem while T119945: Internal error when creating new user in newsletter-test.wmflabs.org is not solved.
@violetto, do you think this should be a blocker to the deployment in Wikimedia or can it be resolved after?
I'm curious how much effort will it be to just replace the entire box and replace with a dropdown like that:
While the functionality is not broken, it is an intimidating interface for a simple functionality. If it's a huge task, it can be resolved after. But if not, I think it's a pretty easy win for an inviting interface, especially in a place where you are trying to entice people to look at what is available.
@Qgil I agree with you that fixing the list would be a higher priority. You would want people to look down the list and click that subscribe button!
Removing the button for JS users has improved it a bit now. It would also be quite easy to remove the wrapper around the form and decrease the width of the dropdown so let's do that.
