Well, Olaf's information was not quite correct. (Olaf: I suppose it was a misunderstanding that you thought that I wrote to [email protected]) I wrote the mail as of two reasons: 1. We wanted to delete the bugs.cvs.org account for the kde-accessibility mailing list, but when logging in with this account, I saw that it was blocked (because it is a mailing list account). Currently we have the effect that the mailing list watches some developers, one of them has left the accessibility project a long time ago. 2. According to http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-accessibility the administration of the mailing accessibility list currently is done by Waldo Bastian. I intended to ask whether it is possible to add Olaf and me to the list of maintainers (kde-accessibility-owner mailing list). I wrote the mail to [email protected] and [email protected], but until now I did not receive any reaction. I attach the questionable mail.

Let me first describe some histories: In December 2002, we did not know who the list admin was. In order to have = an=20 admin who actually reads the mailing list, JP Schnapper-Casteras, who was=20 maintainer of the accessibility project at that time, contacted=20 [email protected] and was set to be the list admin. In February, we decided on the list that all accessibility related bug repo= rts=20 should be sent to the list. In order to prevent that unauthorized people=20 could hijack the bugs.kde.org account, JP blacklisted [email protected] on= =20 the list, so no new passwords would appear on the list (and instead be=20 forwarded to the list maintainer). As it did not seem to be possible to wat= ch=20 the accessibility related products itself, we decided that the mailing list= =20 account should watch the authors of the accessibility related applications. In March, the maintainership of the mailing list passed to me, as I had bec= ome=20 co-maintainer of the accessibility project in the meantime. Today my brother and I (the two remaining maintainers of the accessibility= =20 project) decided that the mailing list account should no longer be used to= =20 watch the developer's accounts (as that resulted in too many non-related=20 bug-mails). Instead we will add the kde-accessibility list as a cc to all=20 accessibility related bugs. During the attempt to do the required changes for this, we discovered that = we=20 are now longer able to log into the bugs.kde.org system and that the list=20 admin has changed. We are quite surprised to discover that the list=20 administratorship was changed without contacting the people actually=20 involved. Is it possible to delete the bugs.kde.org account for the mailing list (as= =20 cc's are not restricted to accounts) and to add Olaf ([email protected]) an= d=20 me ([email protected]) to the list admins (kde-accessibility-owner)?
