This is a mailing list. The whole point of most mailing lists is to be a place where people can ask questions and move forward. In this case, there was a question about what to do about being unable to login - the answer is to take it to phabricator, and thank you for giving it, but in the future, please be less disparaging about it and do not use all subscribed other members as leverage for making people feel bad. This is potentially useful information for anyone here that that's the place to go.

It seems like every time something comes up here there are rude responses about how people shouldn't be dragging everyone else into it, and frankly I find that to be far more annoying than seeing extra messages.

I'd still advise opening a phabricator task. I don't think every list admin for every mailman list for WMF wants to follow along on the technical support of a single list.

Please go ahead and file a phabricator task, and we can help you from there! We'll do the usual of confirming your identity, then setting and testing a new list admin password to determine if the login failure is to that user, or a local issue.

Hope that helps,

    The majority of the users on the list admin list cannot reset the
    password of other mailing lists.  If you have forgotten the
    password of your mailing list, please file a phabricator task
    <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/> and list off
    #wikimedia-mailing-lists as the project.  That way all the
    background comparison of email and account can be done properly to
    confirm list ownership.

    Hope that helps!
