We don't have admin access to the python.org lists, so this is a bit of a problem. We have never had a spam problem, so we can ask to block this user first. If it continues to happen, we may be able to moderate new subscriber emails, but we do need to ask for permissions first and I'm not sure we'll get them.
A better solution longer term is migrating to Discourse, which has far better moderation tools than Mailman and is also more approachable for people not used to mailing lists (which is most newcomers to open source). Migrating is a bit of a pain, but with the new CZI grant having a focus on improving the contributor experience, we should be able to do this.
I would like to offer the use of https://discuss.scientific-python.org. I would be happy to handle email list migration, and have created the following two categories for NumPy discussion: User discussion: https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy <https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy/19> Contributor discussion: https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy <https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy/18> We're happy to support this as part of the Scientific Python ecosystem grant, and will give admin rights to anyone on the NumPy developer team who wants to help manage / moderate discussions. Of course, we can also just delete these if the team prefers to have their discussions somewhere else. But I think there is a benefit to bringing community discussions together in one place.
