Rubbish! Another public page: https://people.apache.org/committer-index.html#jani Clearly and unequivocally states: <Q> jani Jan Iversen corinthia, incubator, incubator-pmc, infrastructure, infrastructure-interest, labs, labs-pmc, member, openoffice, openoffice-pmc, pmc-chairs, tac-pmc </Q> See also: https://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#pmc-chairs Sorry, but I don't get your point about "which mailing lists we listen in on and a lot of other things we do". Who cares, but you make it sounds like you have something to hide. Also, who are "we" in this context, PMC members, project members, or everybody? >> >> Our "Mailing List" page states: >> <Q> Each mailing list at OpenOffice has at least two human moderators.</Q> >> >> Without referring to "private" information you or the PMC may hold tell >> me (off-list if you wish) who the TWO moderators are for the API mailing >> list? >> >> Are we ashamed of who we are and what we do? > > no way, but this is simply an information that has no relevance in my > opinion. > > If people want to tell the world what they do in such detail, they should > publish it, we should not publish peoples names without the consent of the > people.

Nobody is forced to participate in this project by simply identifying the role they have volunteered to undertake. Your concerns are unfounded, Simon Phipps, myself and other moderators openly publish our identities and email addresses on this list and other public forums, so why would we become delicate sensitive little things about our names being published for a useful purpose. Cut to the chase: You did not answer my question about the names of the TWO moderators for our API mailing list because: 1. You don't know. 2. There is only ONE moderator for that list. 3. This information is not publicly available. My reason for persisting with this somewhat trivial issue is that "we" (those with an interest in project at large, not just Infra, the PMC, or some other "sacred inner sanctum") would not have a ready source of reference if moderation, for whatever reason, ceased. Unlikely in the case of the dev list, but a definite possibility for the API list if the one current moderator got run over by a bus. If it will alleviate your concerns, I will post to the owner of each of our public lists asking for an affirmative response to the question of publishing moderator names on the mailing list page.
