The wikinews-l list has about 68000 moderated messages. Which is *extremely* high. The list seems active (last message July 2015). It has one list administrator who has not edited since 2010 (https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Chiacomo).
New administrators should be assigned (list handover). Should be discussed by the Wikinews community with either an interim admin to ensure legitimate emails get through or otherwise.

15:21 < mutante> hey, wikinews people
15:21 < mutante> we need an admin for your mailing list
15:21 < mutante> wikinews-l that is
15:22 < mutante> there are like 68k unmoderated held messages
15:22 < mutante> the current admin has not edited since 2010 or so
15:22 < mutante> if any volunteers or comments, please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110956
15:23 < mutante> (dont worry, you wont have to clean the 68k manually, we deleted the ones older than 90 days)
I'm more active on kowikinews (not enwikinews) but if I can be sufficient or no others are volunteering I am willing to do it. (I am listowner of otrs-ko, if this matter.)
Any other takers? Thanks @revi for offering, i think we should go ahead then and give it to you.
done. added revi and koavf to admins.

I sent it to Justin too. I moved the former admin to the moderator field so the email is still there if they want to be reactivated.
yea, that started the whole ticket :)
We already deleted everything older than 90 days or there would have been 68000 in the queue.
Do you want us to delete more on the shell?
I logged in now. If we need another mass delete, we can always request it here. I'll poke through and see how it looks for now.
