Description

Today I have sent about 2 mails, nothing was archived. Most of the mailing list admins are inactive and don't have any idea about the mailing list setting in India. Its need to maintain a super admin like a user when local admin not available. similar kind of an issue that previous may be there is the same issue like (moderation enabled but nobody moderates, hence no emails get delivered) T251554

Hi, if no emails ever reached the mailing list, then the archives should be empty, so there is no bug. What makes you think that messages did reach the lists?
What is reported / requested in this task exactly? Please always read and follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug - thanks.

In that case you should select new admins. Please ask the old admins to hand over to the new admins.
If you really get no reply at all then you can ask us here to reset admins and password.

Its need to maintain a super admin like a user when local admin not available

"super admin" sounds just like an "active admin" to me. Can you find one that would be more active?

@jayantanth: If this is a request to have active mailing list moderators/admins (not sure if it is?): Can you please find, agree, and propose two people who would like to become admins to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

@jbond: I don't understand how this is medium priority given that WMF cannot do much here...

@jayantanth: Unfortunately closing this Phabricator task as no further information has been provided. If one or two people volunteer to become list admins and if this is still an issue, then please set the status of this task back to "Open" via the Add Action... → Change Status dropdown. It would be welcome. Thanks!
