A discussion on Meta would be better. We all have to be a bit careful with the wording as some might feel bad if their names are called publicly for their inactivity.

Those who are interested to take the moderator role should ideally self-nominate and others can up/downvote and share views just like the same way admins are selected.

Many of the Indian-language Wikimedians might not participate as they would otherwise be discussing internally. So, including the India list, local city-based lists would probably be a good idea.

I agree with Yohann and Dhaval's suggestion, and also the nominations.

Yes, as Abhinav mentioned, this problem of inactive list admins/moderators exists on many of Indian regional mailing lists as well. I've faced issues in the past while posting to some Indic-language mailing lists. So we can actually start a common conversation (may be on Meta-Wiki), listing all the Indic-communities' mailing lists along with the admins/moderators (active/inactive). Following that interested (& active) users can volunteer themselves to be admins.

Best,
Krishna

I so want to step down from the Delhi list if we are discussing about that as well. :)

It’s been 5 years since I left Delhi and it makes sense for someone local to take over. For the record, I also lost the password and probably Theo needs to add the new moderator.

Happy to add anyone interested for Bangalore.

I agree Krishna,

At the same time, let us review the non-active admins as well, or any admin who wants to step down.

Dear all,

The Indian community mailing list is arguably the most used mailing list by the Indian Wikimedia community. However, recently some users have reported problems with subscription and sending messages as non-subscribers. All these issues are need to be dealt by the list admins at the earliest possible. However, the issues remain unsolved.

So I think more active community members must be added as mailing list admins so that these issues can be addressed in a timely manner.


Looking forward for comments from other members.
