I noticed the failure.  It used to be that Mailman-based lists would 
send out a periodic "mailing list memberships reminder" email 
containing important list details (such as the subscription address) 
and the password.  To me this was very useful and so I saved all 
periodic reminders to a file for later.  It seems that Mailman no 
longer sends such reminders and the lack of reminders is not specific 
to SourceForge.  The only thing we can blame on SourceForge is not 
allowing the mailing list moderators to see subscribed email addresses 
and unsubscribe based on address.

The moderator can only approve, discard, and ban based on received 
mails which are still in the moderator queue.  SourceForge did this to 
protect privacy and avoid collection of addresses by spammers.

Regardless, mailing lists do help protect privacy in that they do not 
collect cookies, location, and other tracking data.
