You're right, it is hans.  Or rather, zh-hans, and I have always associated zh with different forms 
of Chinese.  The information is in Chinese.

And under that all the instructions are in Chinese:

users@bn.libreoffice.org：LibreOffice 用户支持
        • 订阅：users+subscribe@bn.libreoffice.org
        • 汇总版订阅：users+subscribe-digest@bn.libreoffice.org
        • 存档：http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/bn/users/
        • Mail-Archive.com: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@bn.libreoffice.org/

Notice that the addresses begin with bn.  Don't know what's on the other end if you subscribe 
there, as I haven't gone that far yet.

BTW, now I look closer, I find that, in the long list on the left, Chinese Simplified and Chinese 
Traditional are listed, and go somewhere else. I didn't get that far, as I saw the alphabetical 
list at the top with zh-tw and zh-hans.  Since zh-tw is usually used for Traditional Chinese, as 
they write it in Taiwan (tw), I chose the other, and got to the page I cited above.  And, apart 
from zh-hans and the address beginning with br instead of zh-cn, everything looked normal, all in 
good Simplified Chinese.
