Mailing list moderation is broken for like three months. There is an - unreplied - tracker ticket (#301440) open, people have been prodded on IRC multiple times, and all I got - after two weeks of trying to get this issue at least acknowledged - was a "yeah, there is an incompatbility between gforge and mailman". Same goes for tracker ticket #301374 - open since three months, not a bit of reply. >Requets for new projects are treated regularly by the 3 admins.

I do not care too much about alioth's internal problems. Fact is that important parts of alioth infrastructure are broken since multiple months, users are ignored, and nobody seems to care. This makes _my_ work as a DD significantly harder since I have to look after my mailing lists manually since a quarter of a year. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
