FWD: 26 Python-Dev moderator request(s) waiting

I just processed two weeks of backlog on python-dev (I'm only a backup moderator). Would anyone object to changing the list policy so that non-member posts get discarded instead of held? -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Need a book? Use your library!

Is any of the mail spam? -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson "There's no place like 127.0.0.1."

How about we recruit additional moderators?

By 'non-member' I hope you mean 'never approved before' as opposed to 'non-subscriber' like me who participates through gmane.

This seems to be a settled issue now, but IMO the proper way to handle your situation is to subscribe from the e-mail address you use as your From: line, setting the subscription to "no mail". -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Need a book? Use your library!
