Re: Group administrator

Hi Marcin,

Nobody is refusing to do anything.

Google groups has a painful UI, over which we have no control, and one of the things that Google Groups doesn't make it easy to expose is the list of people who are owners and managers of the list.

Why haven't we done something on our own to make the managers obvious? Because in the almost 7 year history of the mailing list, you're the first person who has asked for the list of administrators.

For the record, the django-users list managers are myself, Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Adrian Holovaty, and Karen Tracey. There are a couple of other users with administrator rights; however, these users have these rights for either historical reasons, or because they were helping out with managing spam etc at some point in the past.

For practical purposes, the list that Kenneth directed you two is the most relevant. That list is the full list of members of the community that have developed enough trust that they have the commit bit, which is the ultimate expression of trust and authority in an open source project. If any user on that list asked for admin rights to the mailing list, they would almost certainly get those rights; and if any person on that list asked me (as a list admin) to perform some activity on their behalf, I would almost certainly do so.

Regarding the specific issue that has brought about this thread -- I'll speak to that in the relevant thread.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)
