I've just tried to find out who the moderators of the list are. It was 
not working as I thought. ;-) Then I found the info via Whimsy.

Sorry to put it this way Dave, but this is the same answer that I have
had received from you and other PMC members previously.

If your statement is true, then we and the ASF have a very serious and
extreme privacy challenge here:
https://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#openoffice

In my view anyone who "steps up to he plate" for ANY role in an OPEN
source project should not have any concerns about being identified a
contributor and their role that project. I am not ashamed of being
identified as a (very small, relatively unimportant) contributor to the
AOO project and I suggest that ANYONE who is wishes to adopt this
underhanded, secretive approach, should step away from the project.

Yes, my commentary will be misinterpreted by some as inflammatory, but
like Jörg I am both a supporter and critic of the AOO project.

As a separate issue, the above mentioned link is seriously in need of
review and update, because many of the people mentioned are no longer
active in, or have resigned from the positions listed. Also one person
listed regrettably passed away last month.

Regards
Dave

I can only describe my situation quite openly:
I wrote to Michael by PM because I know him as a moderator. Unfortunately, 
Michael's reaction was that he felt disturbed by my PM and stressed that there 
were other moderators.
I then wrote to dev@ again, because it needs a solution and not just nice words.

I wrote to you very clearly by PM (and in German) that it is about a presumed 
list account (i.e. a regularly registered participant in the list) who is 
spamming.

Such emails from registered users are not submitted to the moderators at all. 
Or am I mistaken?
Why don't you simply check whether "i...@dkb.de" is registered on the list and 
if so, delete this registration?

It is also NOT( about a ban on which you should decide alone, but about an 
email address of the "Deutsche Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft" which is 
obviously being misused and where the "Deutsche Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft" 
would be happy if this were stopped.

I have written all this, in essence, by PM, but you only make completely 
general statements that presumably ignore the concrete situation.

(I write "presumably" because you keep secret from me whether my presumption is 
correct. Why I don't understand).

My humble suggestion, given the fact that the section contains updated

I am available to do this work, if no one else has either better ideas

I have been a moderator for some of our English lists since the
project's poddling days. Unfortunately, my knowledge of German is not
very good, so I would not be of much help for the German users list.

I have asked before why the PMC does not wish moderators to be
identified, but never received any rational answer.
