They should get an email from mailman telling them their message was
entered into the moderation queue because they weren't subbed.  So,
they shouldn't assume their mail was dropped.  Or at least I don't
know why they would assume that....

:-P

Probably not until Mid January...  I dont get home until the 7th or 8th
so probably the weekend after that I can devote to upgrading the gnucash
hardware and software.  Note that it means about 24-48 hours of downtime
for SVN, Email, Wiki, etc.

Agreed.  In the long run we should have a -commits list that is read-only
(and only commiters, and perhaps 'trac' post to it).

I'm not sure if there's a good way to compare list membership.  I suppose
I could do it by pulling out the membership lists into files and then
comparing the files...  *ponders and easy way to do this*
