Hi,
The Romanian mailing lists are managed by a wikipedian that has left the project some years ago and now he doesn't have time to moderate the lists. What is the normal procedure to be followed to have somebody else take over the lists?
Thanks, Strainu
Hi
It's just about transfering the password from him to someone else, or in case he doesn't remember it, you can request a new password.

Also, once you have the password you should update the email addresses for owner and moderator. And maybe change the password. (who knows when the last change was, or what other past owners/moderators before the current one had it; also it's good practice to change them periodically)

Yes. Create a bug in the "Mailing lists" component requesting that the list administrator be changed because he is no longer active on-wiki. If you can contact him and ask him to give you the password, though, that's better. You should only request sysadmin intervention if necessary.
