The first line is, in my opinion, both obscure and rude. I doubt most
ordinary readers of our mailing list know exactly what an "admin request" is.
They may even think it has something to do with admin-ing Postgres itself.
It certainly will sound odd on the pgsql-admin list. :)

The link provided should be shorter: a http redirect would do that quite
nicely. Additionally, the above link does not work, and only brings you to
a generic page for all mailing lists at postgresql.org. Perhaps this one?:

http://mail.postgresql.org/mj/mj_wwwusr/domain=postgresql.org?func=lists-long-full&extra=pgsql-g...

If we are replacing the sig, I'd recommend something like this:
