Just to emphasize what Paul said, the only moderators I'm aware of are those who moderate python-list@python.org. A bidirectional gateway runs on mail.python.org which ships messages back and forth. I take care of the SpamBayes setup on mail.python.org, whose primary task is to divert spam which arrives from comp.lang.python. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
