Hi Rob,
I thought that privacy-related scrubs of mailing list archives had been
halted, given (1) the many problems that they have caused in the past and
(2) that once info is sent to a public list it is likely to be archived
publicly in places outside of WMF control and therefore the usefulness of
these wipes is doubtful.
James, you and I have discussed this issue previously. Can you please
comment?
Thanks,
Pine

I already got a few messages pointing out that taking down the wikimania
mailing list the week of folks traveling there may not be ideal for
communication!
I'm working with legal to see if I can push this request for scrub to next
week.

List Admins,
Please note that I'll be stopping mailman on 2016-06-21 from 16:00 to
18:00 UTC for some privacy scrubbing of list archives.
Unfortunately, mailman has to be stopped to prevent corruption during the
archive rebuild for the affected list(s). I hope not to use the full 2 hour
window, but cannot be certain.
Once the work ends and mailman is restarted, all unsent/queued messages
will be processed for delivery.
Work is documented on
