[Postgres-xc-general] Fix for moderation of Postgres-XC mailing lists

[Michael P. <mic...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Sorry for sending this message to multiple mailing lists at the same time,
but there were a couple of problems with the permissions of users inside 3
mailing lists we are using for Postgres-XC project.
Those mailing lists are the general mailing list (
pos...@li...),  the bug mailing list (
pos...@li...) and the hackers mailing list (
pos...@li...).

For the sake of transparency to the community, let me explain what was
happening...
Our mailing lists are managed with mailman on SourceForge. For a reason I
did not really understand, a portion of the users of those mailing lists
had their messages moderated.
This problem has been reported by Nikhil Sontakke but I found that a dozen
of users on each mailing list was also impacted. Some users had their
messages hidden, digested or moderated, and sometimes multiple filters were
even set for the same user...
The reason why I couldn't see that problem earlier? Well simply I couldn't
receive the admin messages of the mailing lists as I was not registered
there as an admin.

So I went through all the users' permission and fixed it manually for
everybody. This was not a huge work as XC community is not that huge
compared to PostgreSQL ;)
I am also registered there as an admin now, so there will *perhaps* not be
that many problems in the future.

Really sorry for the inconvenience.
If you got any problems in the future or if you still have problems, you
can contact me directly or send an email to the dedicated mailing list, I
will take proper action.

Best regards,
