Just copy-pasting this from another thread on Wikimedia-L, where similar
events are happening in relation to members of that list:
"
I think it will be better if most of us can
"Report the Group".
Yes, please do this. We're also talking with Google about trying to resolve
the issue, but my understanding is that reporting that you've been
fraudulently subscribed will help move that conversation along.
[Same applies to the fake gender-gap list.]
Thanks-
Luis

Another trolling I think. A "Wikimedia

Some disturbing news entered my mailbox the past days. The grant
making team is going to shut down the grantmaking process for Project and
Event Grants (PEG) and Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) for three full
months!
They have decided that they want to focus only on a specific strategic
priority: the gender gap, and that all other good projects are refused for
3 months (February-April)
Good projects to be ignored, just because the WMF think those are less
important. They say this is a positive campaign, but this sounds as a
negative campaign to me. This discourages many volunteers in doing
projects.With increasing vandalism and disruption the WMF seems looking to
close some mailing lists for lack of volunteers. This is a negative signal
to all those volunteers who are currently working on project plans.
As LGBT related proposals will presumably be amongst the first to be
rejected, a small actively moderated external mailing list for action is
formed of engaged Wikimedians.
