A provocative theory.

Reduced traffic on Wikimedia-l is mostly due to list moderation.
That's plausible. "Most" people on wikimedia-l are moderated by now; I and others unsubscribed due to tyrannical moderation, too.

I don't know of a way to list who is on moderation from the admin interface......
I did a bit of a sample:
There are just over 1500 'members' of the the list (some have mail disabled).
I looked at a sample of 239, of these 13 were on moderation.
Regards, Richard.

As Richard says, there's no way to get a quick count from the admin interface. It certainly isn't "most" of the 1510 subscribed addresses, despite all new subscriptions being moderated by default.
Looking at my archived messages for this week, it appears that we average 2-3 held messages per day, which normally get passed along within a few hours at most. I try to unmoderate people as I can, but quite a lot of people subscribe, never post, and just stay there. More power to them, of course.
