Other than the recent unpleasantness on the mailing list, what problems are you seeing?
Biggest problem is off-wiki targeting and stalking. No names, but at least 4 prominent women were strongly affected. And I can think of two others. Mostly it is framed as trying to access personal information, calling employers, etc. Imagining that one demonic woman is oppressing.

Very true, and very much a severe problem. I'm aware of at least a few of those you mention.
Do you have any ideas what we as Wikipedians can do that we aren't already doing? Law enforcement was notified in at least one case. I think that all of the perps are blocked for eternity from both the site and the mailing list.
(Fred, is your last sentence what you wanted to say?)
