Comment (by qbi): The current approach for creating a new mailing list is as follows: 1. Someone makes a ticket 1. Check if all the required information are present. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/emailLists#HowdoIaskforanewmailinglist 1. Someone needs to run `newlist` on eugeni. "Someone" is a person which belongs to the admin group (currently weasel, qbi and nickm). The following information need to be entered: 1. Name of the list 1. Email address of the new listadmin 1. Password for the list. The password must also go to a password repository. 1. Go to https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/emailLists and enter the information about the newly created list 1. Log in at the list page at https://lists.torproject.org and enter the list description plus maybe make more changes. 1. Close the ticket So step three is the one which only a limited set of people can do. As far as I see it extending the number of people would require to give them root privileges. The possible harm which can be done here is more than just wait for a few days for a new list. Thatswhy I'm hesitant to go this way. IMHO it is better to ask one of the two remaining people if list creation takes too long. What are your opinions on this? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23932#comment:6> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
