Suspending mailinglists due to lack of moderators.

Hi,

These are the top mailinglists with the most amount of moderation requests. For most of them we have tried to contact the current moderators without much success last year. So now I suggest we get rid of these mailinglists.

Note that if you object, you are volunteering for taking over moderation.

Hi,

kde-imaging is actually pretty active.

three questions:
- who is listed as current moderator of this list?
- what does a "moderation request" mean? Unsubscribed postings?
- isn't it possible to set up a strict policy that automatically fails
unsubscribed postings?

yes, and with big attachements then allowed, and everything else that needs moderation.

No, spam should never be rejected but discarded and mails with bigger attachements than allowed should be rejected with a reason or allowed, or whatever.

This is Kphotoalbum author, who is no more active in this mailing list since a very long time. This is the problem...

Perhaps we ask on the mailing list if someone wants to take the job?
It does not need to be a developer I think.

As KDE and the Enterprise is something I am passionate about (though didn't know about this list....) and 32 moderation requests are easy to manage in my flow of email, I'll take on moderation of that list.

What's the differences between that list and kde-promo? Do we really need a dot-stories mailing list?

What are the requirements to be able to moderate a mailing list? I have never
done it, but I am interested to moderate the entries. I doubt they are all
spam, considering the large amount compared to other "dead" lists.

No requirements, just not getting bored quickly. It helps a lot if you are actually interested in the ml you moderate though.

I think it is an internal list where new dot submissions end up, not sure though.
