--- Comment #4 from Tilman Bayer <[email protected]> ---
It would have been a good idea to notify the owners/admins of both lists when
filing this bug - thanks to Thehelpfulone for remedying that afterwards.

I'm really not sure what the bug filer means by "it never worked".
[email protected] has been subscribed to Wikimediaannounce-l
since September 2011, and since then hundreds of messages have been forwarded
automatically, including some by Nemo himself I believe ;) Just look at the
Wikimedia-l list archives (say
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2012-July/date.html ) and
search for thread titles starting with "[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia
Announcements]".

Or take the two announcement messages sent this month so far, which made it
through fine: 
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaannounce-l/2013-June/date.html
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-June/date.html

It's true though that the forwarding has sometimes failed, or at least was
delayed for too long for some messages. I seem to recall observing this first
last summer. I have developed the hypothesis that only HTML emails are been
affected (the Wikimediaannounce-l rules stipulate that messages should be in
plaintext; of course not everyone reads them), but I haven't tested it fully
yet. And at least some HTML emails still get through, such as the two this
month so far.

To summarize, this bug is based on false premises (and already wasted some
commenters' time because of this). To be useful, it would need to be renamed to
something like "Some messages are not automatically forwarded from
Wikimediaannounce-l to Wikimedia-l", and provide a collection of examples so we
can investigate the reason. With adminship of Wikimedia-l transitioning as of
last week, now might be a good time for this.
