To recap what happened:
On 18 January, many subscribers to Wikimania-l received a "you have been unsubscribed" message in error. Most recipients in fact remained subscribed to this list.
Many subscribers sent messages to the list to check with one another that they are still subscribed. As Butch and I have written, if you can see this message, you are still subscribed.
As of 30 January, server administrator Amir confirmed that all subscribers' access has been restored from a server backup.
The listadmins apologize for the inconvenience.
If you would rather unsubscribe from this mailing list, please follow the instructions at the footer of this email.

Hi folks,
If any of your friends and colleagues had not received this message, kindly share them the postorius link above and re-subscribe.
I understood the confusion it brought today and I express my sincere apologies.
Kind regards,
Butch
Hi,
sysadmin and one of the de facto maintainers of mailman here.
I also got the email but from what I'm seeing in the interface, I'm still a member of wikimania-l. I will check what's going on (I have a couple of guesses, possibly an issue with the mailserver). I will take a look soon.

Hello Wikimaniacs,
The listadmins of Wikimania-l are aware that many subscribers have received false "You have been unsubscribed" messages today.
This is likely a mailing list server malfunction and we will investigate this with other Wikimedia listadmins.
If you can see the messages in this thread, you are still subscribed, and no further action is needed.
Best regards,
Deryck (& listadmins)
Funny, it said I was kicked off the list yet here I am, reading your message ;-)

After todays knocking many people out message just checking I can send to the list
