--- Comment #5 from Tilman Bayer <[email protected]> ---
As an addendum, here are the steps taken in September 2011 to set up the 
Wikimediaannounce-l --> Foundation-l forwarding (done by Ral315/Ryan Lomonaco -
as a then moderator of Foundation-l - and myself, as a moderator of
Wikimediaannounce-l). Writing these down in case we need to repeat the process
at some point to bypass the Foundation-l --> Wikimedia-l forwarding that has
since been established, or in case it is useful for the moderators of other
lists.


1. We signed up [email protected] as a subscriber at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaannounce-l (as mentioned
above, it is still subscribed as of today).

2. The resulting sign-up confirmation message needed to be caught by
the Foundation-l moderators, so as not to spam the whole list and
reveal the subscriber password. (This assumed that postings from
non-members to [email protected] were held in
moderation or rejected automatically while still being retrievable. If not,
[email protected]
would have needed to be put on moderation in advance.) As Foundation-l
moderator, Ral315 clicked on the confirmation link and then discarded the
message.

3. Because [email protected] was still not a
member of Foundation-l, the forwarded postings would have been discarded
automatically (or held in moderation each time, if Foundation-l had been
configured differently). So Ral315 whitelisted
[email protected] under "List of non-member addresses
whose postings should be automatically accepted" on the "Privacy
options/[Sender filters]" subpage at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/foundation-l/privacy/sender (should
now be under
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/wikimedia-l/privacy/sender ).
