@RobH Sorry, yes, I lost my list password as well. This seemed the quickest way to get it changed. Sorry if I didn't quite do it right.

@Steinsplitter: I know I have a new IP address when reconnecting. The fact that every other web service I use manages to persist connections over IP changes except OTRS kind of led me to realise that.

If one is using tethered mobile broadband from Three (a UK mobile operator) using an Android handset to provide a personal hotspot, every slight jolt in mobile connectivity led to a new IPv4 address being granted. When I used to commute by train, the loss of an OTRS session every time one went through a tunnel for a second or two was fatal to my ability to handle any tickets.

Quiddity said on-wiki that there is a code freeze until January 7. This is currently preventing anyone doing new page patrol. Over the Christmas/New Years break, lots of volunteers may want to spend some of their hard-earned time off working on the wiki, perhaps by patrolling the new page feed. Not being able to do this is pretty major breakage and is very disruptive to the running of the 'pedia.
