Hi all,
Just popping my head up to say hello :) As it happens, I'm the only list admin on the Wikimedia IE mailing list. My cohort, Cary Bass, left admin when he retired from the WMF to return to college. Anyways, the current situation really isn't optimal; if I get run over by a bus or whatev, we're stuck without anyone managing the list, having the password, etc.
So, to that end, would anyone like to volunteer to co-admin the list? It's pretty simple and anyone using Mailman already would find it a breeze. As I'm in the US on the West Coast (ex-Dub myself), someone in Europe would be particularly handy to ensure good coverage round the clock.
Ok - over to you :)

I don't mind helping. I've managed email lists before. I presume it is effectively "self-managing" on a day-to-day basis and administration rarely if ever needs to happen?
I'm located in Cork on the auld sod.

Pretty much. GNU Mailman is ridiculously easy to use.
