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?
