Are you looking for the mailing list password or the Savannah password?

Would you like to have the mailing list managed by the listhelper
team?  I can change the list owner address from you over to the
listhelpers and then you won't get any more spam notifications.

As a general blanket statement Karl and I have been discarding spam
and approving non-spam messages to all of the mailing lists.  So
things will get taken care of even if the mailing list owner doesn't
do it themselves.

And so I always recommend to people that they procmail filter out the
spam moderation notifications from Mailman.  We can't turn them off or
I would do so.  And the spam is endless.  So you will get an endless
stream of spam notifications if the mailing list is known and popular
at all.  But if you filter them away then you can basically ignore
them.  And the SpamAssassin listhelper robot will automatically
discard the spam.  It is only valid non-spam that needs to be
unmoderated when they come through and we will do that several times a
day too.

It is your choice.  Whatever you would like to do.  I recommend
letting the listhelper process do it along with the other thousand
mailing lists.
