What I should've said was... I think we could do with some kind of 'moderator team' - a handful of people with no real technical skills, but a willingness to contribute a few minutes a day to keeping *all* the GNOME list moderator queues in check. They would just need to subscribe to 'gnome-listmoderator', and deal with all the moderator requests as they see fit. The owner for all of the lists would remain unchanged, but 'gnome-listmoderator' would be listed as the moderator address for all the lists. This takes the pressure off list owners to moderate their list (they're usually also the project maintainer/active developer, so are often distracted with other responsibilities anyway). Also, it will take the noise away from 'gnome-listadmin'. Any particular feelings or thoughts about this idea? Should I re-propose this in an e-mail to *-list-owner gnome org? Regards, -- Ross
