I've had cvs-src@ set to nomail, could write but msgs were not

I've read them via Gmane, my NNTP newsreader offers very flexible way to
filter them. Now, mail lists are switched WITHOUT 'nomail', and my local
hard drive is being spammed, instead of NNTP (and freebsd.org also
wastes
resources fot that, eh?). And worse, I just CAN'T disable it again:
when I
trying to login to http://lists.freebsd.org for svn-src-all@, it simply
says
about authorization error!
Moreover, this change is pain in the ass for all users who don't care
about
SVN switch - while CVSUP/CSUP is in use, it is not-so-worth to care.
And it
is now more difficult to manage for those who were used to cvs-all@ - a
bunch of lists instead of one. Mailman DOESN'T give me interface to
manage
all my subscriptions at once - I must go and login for every one!
I've heard several complains about this spamming change on local IRC
channels.
Breaking POLA is bad.
The password reminder thing isn't that hard. Go to the single list
that I subscribed you to.
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all then click on
"unsubscribe or edit options". Type your email addres. Instead of
entering a password you cllick 'send password to me'. It shouldn't
take much more than 30-60 seconds.

Because it is not clear that I should go and use password reminder - just
a few days ago mailman has sent a password reminder, as it does every
month, I've just did copy&paste for password. Finally, it sent a reminder
to me, yes, but why ever password and delivery flag were not preserved?..
