Now, it has been going on for such a long time that I do not know what is the current status of Lir, with regards to her being allowed to edit. Did the AC pronounced her banned ? For which duration ?
Can't help you there. You'll have to ask the secret cabal where they put their sealed proclamations.
Is she really banned from the english mailing list ? Why was she ? Is it permanent ? Who decide who is banned from a list ?
So far as I know, the only person who's ever been banned from this mailing list is Plautus Satire (plautus at shaw.ca).
There are three other addresses blocked from subscribing in the mailing list config, which look like spam addresses. (The list's moderation queue allows you to add a rejected mail's sender to ban, moderation, reject, or discard lists; there are a *lot* on the discard list, and none of them is a[name omitted for privacy reasons].)
Certainly there is no technical impediment to Lir subscribing and posting on this list. I would dispute the authority of a claimed ban by the AC if there is one; the mailing lists have traditionally been the open channel for complaints, moderated only for spam.
Is she really banned from irc as well ? Why ? Is it permanent ?
As far as I can see there are no bans currently set in #wikipedia, though I could be pushing the wrong button.
