    title: Orphaned mailing lists
    ---
    <div id="bodyText">
      <h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
    
      <p>
        Each mailing list needs an owner. Owners take care of the day
        to day management of the mailing list. For most mailing lists,
        this doesn't mean much, since (un)subscriptions are processed
        automatically.
      </p>
    
      <p>
        Most of the mailing list have been configured to hold mails
        from non-mailing list members for moderation.  Every now and
        then (once every few months, usually) a mail like that is to
        be expected.  The list owner can delegate handling of these
        mails to mailing list moderators, if the volume of mails to
        be handled grows too big.
      </p>
    
      <p>
        The position of mailing list owner can be shared to assure
        continuity of the position.
      </p>
    
      <p>
        Concluding: Being a mailing list owner is mostly a formality
        and will consume extremely little time.
      </p>
    
      <p>
        Sometimes the e-mail address of the mailing list owner
        stops receiving mail from the mailing list management software.
        That's when the site admins add the mailing list to the table
        below.  Volunteers are free to request transfer of ownership
        by mailing <a
                     href="https://mailman.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/listinfo/clo-devel"
                   >the site developers mailing list</a>.
      </p>
    
      <h2 id="lost">Lost contacts</h2>
    
      <p>
        The table below lists (in random order) the mailing lists
        for which the site admins lost contact with the current owner.
      </p>
      <p>
        Please contact the mailing list mentioned above if you have
        contact info of the people listed, or if you want to claim
        list ownership yourself.
