As is common for me, I later have additional notes to add to
my prior submittal as I've run into something while gathering
evidence or am otherwise figuring things out. Some of these
are messages are sent hour(s) later.


It appears that the Gmane Autoauthorizer notices that report
"[t]he mailing list software used for the list in question is
mailman" are giving bad instructions as Mlmmj and mailman
do not seem to be compatible for such things, if I understand
right --and the FreeBSD lists are Mlmmj based these days.

I'm also not sure what the "+" is about in the "mlmmj+". It
might be an error to be corrected.


I've learned that listing the newsgroup and your Email
address for the send did not lead to the message showing up
via https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-test/ .
