I sent a test message and it sent a response saying my
message was in a queue waiting for the moderator. But
since that's me and it won't let me in, I can't approve
anything, So I assume there will be a bunch of stuff
just sitting in a queue waiting for a non-existent moderator.
I guess this proves the list is still there in some form!
Back to the postmaster to see how I get this fixed...
I do notice we seem to have moved to Mailman3 as a server,
perhaps it has something to do with the migration? It would
have been nice to be told though.
Interesting - list transitions from 2->3 are supposed to be quite
difficult, it's really a different piece of software that happens to
still be called Mailman, not a simple version transition. When I've
asked about other lists (hosted elsewhere on a "free to open source
projects" basis), been told pretty much "ain't gonna happen". I'm
surprised python.org would have made such a move without letting anyone
know, though I'm not surprised there was some motivation since Mailman 2
is pinned forever to the slightly out-of-date (sic) Python 2....
