Usenet[1] doesn't have an admin. It's generally unmoderated and decentralized (no central server). Anyone can run a Usenet server and contribute messages to the global group. In the old days every Uni had it's own Usenet server and we had a lot of great global communication on the groups. However now I think the Python community would be well served to just sever the Usenet connection entirely and just use the mailing list. The mailing list does ban people from posting from time to time. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
