We can do change the template for this list only rather than
changing the site list. That's what I was thinking.
Let me see about putting that into unified diff format for
the Fedora ansible repo and we can discuss it there and get
thoughts from any of the other folks who are more active in
the Mailman maintenance.

Combined with an updated template for the held messages, I
can see that being useful. I still think 100k is not useful
or necessary, but it's not a lot of bandwidth so I don't
care too much about it.
I do expect we'll see close to the same amount of messages
held as we do now (which is only a few per month, for anyone
curious).

I'll try to come up with something there. If I forget,
anyone feel free to beat me to it or suggest some changes as
a reminder. There's two place which need adjusting, I
believe: Keep it Short and No Attachment (which should have
", Please" I think).
My current (rough) thoughts...
In Keep it Short:
* Remove the "or in a pastebin" text.
* Encourage keeping the content in the message rather
than posting it externally to avoid the list archives
becoming less useful when those external links
inevitably change.
In No Attachments:
* Replace "Don't use attachments" with something like
"If you must include an attachment, please keep it
minimal (refer to "Keep it Short")."
* Add ", Please" to the title. :)
I know, many of the items could also include this.
For these "No ..." or "Don't ..." it may help ever so
slightly to make it less like an edict and more like a
friendly request -- these are guidelines, after all.
