No need for that.  All mailman lists on lists.fedoraproject.org (as
well as most mailman lists in general) have a convenient alias to
reach the list owners/admins.  It is $listname-owner@$domain.  In this
case, it's users-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  In fact, that's where
the link at the bottom of the listinfo page sends mail.

For reaching the site admins for a given mailman installation, you
typically use mailman@$domain, e.g. mailman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The sitewide address is given on the main mailman page, which is also
linked in the footer of the listinfo page.

Prior to today the list was set to discard posts from non-members.
This setting was made before any of the current list admins were
present AFAIK.  I believe that sending a rejection is the more
courteous setting, and we have changed this now.

Setting it to hold for moderation all messages is not likely to
happen.  Even with decent spam filtering, more than enough messages
make it through that tending to the moderation queue becomes quite a
laborious task.  I help tend to a number of Fedora lists and I do not
wish to greatly increase the effort needed to do so efficiently.
