Hmm... maybe I don't understand the problem? Basically what is the role of a mailing list administrator? As I understand: a) dealing with spam b) moderating trouble users c) deciding whether to pass on posts from people who are not subscribed to the list d) dealing with complaints as copyright infringement often made non-subscribing members My friend Mayur (only admin here) has not been very active on Hindi WP and there is no evidence of his activity on the mailing list as since a long time. I am involved with the outreach programs and want to enlist as many users as possible on the mailing list. I asked for this right to have some control for any malicious activity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
