The answer to that "baited" question is: Everybody with any kind of role within the ASF can be identified, EXCEPT MODERATORS, Unidentified = Hidden = Secret. > A moderator is just a committer as you and me.

Since moderators are unidentified, I cannot say with any certainty if it is still the case, but I have reason to believe that in years past there have been one or more moderators who were not also committers. It's not clear to me how that is/was possible, but Rob Weir advised me of this when I first became a moderator. I would very much appreciate that you stop publicly lecturing me about how the ASF is structured. I joined this project at the same time as you and possibly a little before you. So I understand how things work, even if I do not always agree with "The Apache Way". > I volunteer to create a Wiki page to show who is moderating which > mailing list(s) - if the community think it has a value. Since your offer is buried within a thread that most subscribers have long since tired of, I doubt that you will get much, if any, feedback. > Marcus > On 10/11/2021 04:25, Dave Fisher wrote >>> That’s ok as long as it is made clear NOT to ever contact moderator >>> directly about the mailing list>>> >>> I hope you see the conundrum being presented. The inbox of all moderators receive posts to owner-<list>, which effectively is direct contact, but if it is a matter of concern, let's leave the status quo. I really would like to end my involvement in this thread now.
