Co-admininning pgsql-announce

From

Marc,

Can you please make me (or someone else) co-moderator on pgsql-announce?
Announcements are getting held up by as much as 3 days due to your
workload (including one of mine which is time-critical).  There are
several people here who can help.

Second, is there any way to change the reply-to setup on pgsql-announce?
Currently anyone sending an announcement has to suffer through an average
of 25-30 bounce messages.  I don't think we're going to fix the bounces
(there's 15,000 subscribers after all) but we could substitute a reply-to
which would discard any replies.

re: postings to pgsql-announce ... as I've told others, if you post
something, send me an email directly to let me know and I can login right
there and then to process it through ...

re: reply-to ... sure, but it won't fix your bounce issue, since things
like postmaster and mailer-daemon don't honor reply-to's, as far as I know
... or do they?

regardless if they do or not, teh reply to needs to be set to something
legit, so where would you have it set to?  pgsql-general?

Why not assign a co-moderator from the WWW team?   Majordomo supports
having secondary moderators.

They most definitly shouldn't. (That said, I'm sure there are some that
do. But even M$ Exchange doesn't :P)

There is, however, an Errors-To header you can set. Far from all mailers
support that one, but some do. And IIRC there is an RFC about it
somewhere, so it's not home-invented.

Yes, the Reply-To is for human responses. So setting it to a different
list seems quite reasonable.
