I am not getting the flood of emails from the outages list, but I am
assuming that the OP didn't want to add to the loop and that's why he
posted here instead.

FWIW up to 96 copies now as I write this, it's been going on for about
an hour and a half at this point, I held of sending anything initially
hoping it would be jumped on and at least the sending shut down even if
that meant taking any remaining online part of the list down for now
until there was time to fix it, as I get it, it's Sunday, people have
plans, etc, at this point all I'd ask to be expedited is shutting it
down until such time as people have time to fix it, not for people to
abandon plans on a Sunday to root cause this and fully fix it.
So let me get this straight.
1. You saw a problem with something.
2. You didn't report that problem where it was occuring.
3. You went somewhere else to complain about it.
4. You don't expect anyone to fix it on a Sunday, but you do expect
someone to turn it off on a Sunday.
Yeesh.

I've already received 76 copies of
"Re: [Outages-discussion] Lists dead - after action report?"
and continue receiving them every few minutes, apologies, 77 copies now,
this is clearly badly broken, I do understand this is a volunteer run
list, but normally I do want to receive notifications as it's generally
important if it's on this list, but currently I'm looking at having to
block the list as it's sending my notifications nuts.
Also as an aside, I'd hesitated offering this before, not feeling like I
was known enough or had enough standing in the community for it to be
accepted and used, but if help is needed figuring out the issues, or if
it would help the community to have a backup list, running mailman or
potentially for added diversity running a different mailing list
software, it's been a bit but I've used sympa before as well as mailman
to run lists, I'm happy to host a secondary backup list(s) to offer some
extra redundancy to the community (or if people really wanted to have
someone take over the main I'm willing to, but I'm not asking for that
or expecting anyone wants that), I know some mention has been made in a
thread somewhere about adding redundancy to the list but nothing about
the form of that redundancy.
