What is going on with releases, mailing lists? |

Hello!
I've seen an announcement in address@hidden that Automake
1.7.9 has been released with Autoconf 2.59. I thought it was a typo
because Autoconf 2.59 has never been announced in the same list.
Indeed, I checked NEW in CVS Autoconf, it mentions the 2.59 release on the
same day as Autoconf 2.58 - November 4, 2003.
However, ftp.gnu.org has only version 2.58. Debian unstable also uses
version 2.58. I decided to check the mailing list. (I'm very sorry, but
I had to disable mailing list traffic for some mailing lists I was
subscribed to, including autoconf lists, because I could not participate
in too many projects in the same time.)
I don't normally trust gnu.org pages full of outdated "invariant
sections", but the project page on savannah.gnu.org
<https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=autoconf> points to the same list
archives:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/
What I see is that half of traffic is spam and that neither Autoconf 2.58
nor Autoconf 2.59 have been announced there. However, the Autoconf 2.58
announcement is in the autoconf-maintainers archives.
What happened to the project and to the mailing lists?
I'm ready to become a moderator of the autoconf list. It appears that the
traffic is not very heavy. Besides, I have a Spamcop subscription, so I
can reroute spam to my account and report it.
