Mailman for GNU and FSF are mostly completely separate from Savannah anything. Savannah's web UI has been scripted to interact with the mailman server lists.gnu.org to create mailing lists and to reset mailing list passwords. But that's about it. This Savannah frontend upgrade this weekend is completely independent of lists.gnu.org and the main mail relay eggs.gnu.org and the other mailing lists. Since I am speaking I will add more background. The listhelper team moderates for spam discards and can help with subscription and unsubscription but does not have administrative permission on lists.gnu.org nor eggs.gnu.org as that is reserved for FSF sysadmin. It's a little hard for those not in the day to day operations to know what listhelpers can do and not do. Mostly we peek and see if we have permissions or not. If we do then we can do something. If not then we pass it along to FSF sysadmin. > I wrote to mail...@gnu.org about that, but didn't yet receive any > replies. FSF sysadmin usually does not work on the weekend. Especially if they have been in a long hours push for other tasks. There have been several of those recently. I imagine right now they are trying to recharge themselves on the weekends. But they do work normal working hours Monday through Friday and so once they "return to the office", virtually in this case, they will start working through RT tickets and responding to problem report emails.
