I have looked into this a bit, and it seems there is a bit of magical file renaming involved in the /org/lists.debian.org/stats/data directory on master. It seems like this should be done as part of the procedure to obsolete or reactivate a list, but given the number of "dead lists" that are not marked as such. The basic procedure seems to be: when a list is obsoleted, do a cp <list>.members <list>-REMOVED.members I have now done this for a number of obviously dead lists. For the d-d games list, what seems to be needed is just an rm debian-devel-games-REMOVED.members as that would mean that the debian-devel-games.members which is generated from data from http://murphy.debian.org/list-stats/ will take over again. The only strange thing there is that the REMOVED file only contains data from 200207 - 200212, but that period is missing in the currently generated file which starts in 1999, stops at 200206 and resumes 200604. Not really worth worrying about IMO, so for now I've renamed the -REMOVED file. Cheers, FJP
