[for want of a better list...]
Who keeps approving replies to messages on -announce? I've seen two today;
one asking to be removed from the list, and one asking about RPMs of
postgres-xc. Neither should have been approved.

+10.
This seems to happen constantly. It's really annoying.

OK, this has happened about three more times on the same thread.
Here's my guess: nobody's moderating those postings. Somehow, the
rules for moderation have gotten screwed up, and posts from people on
other PG mailing lists are just being allowed through willy-nilly.
Can someone please care about this?

That's not my guess.
My guess is that it's someone who moderates many lists, and just
checks the *contnets* of the mails. Which is perfectly on-topic for
any other list, so it gets approved.
And perhaps by somebody either not on this list, or not paying
attention on this list :)

I don't really know the mj2 config. AFAICT it's set up to moderate
everything except for a very specific list of people. I can't actually
figure out how to view that list of people :-), but it's
"pgsql-announce:restrict".
Alvaro, can you check?

Members are Marc Fournier, Robert Treat and David Fetter. The only one
of those that I can imagine actually needs un-fettered access (pardon
the pun) is David - but he's a moderator anyway.
So, I've set moderate to yes for now, so all messages need to be
moderated. If any more come through, someone isn't paying attention.

FWIW, and as a moderator, it is not me. And I don't want to point
fingers, but if you check the archives, it's usually the same
person responsible for mis-approved posts. :)

That'd be me.
Mea culpa.
