Hi Dan,
unfortunately several people use multiple email addresses, and this optout
doesn't work properly if that is the case - because when you go to that
link, google insists that you want to unsubscribe with your gmail address
(which might not be the one you have been subscribed with).
Right now, I'm just marking all emails as spam - hoping that this won't
affect the very similarly layouted real wikimedia-l messages.

If people are being resubscribed after having
unsubscribed, apparently
changing your settings here will stop that from happening:

I was subscribed by them and was kind of amused by the disaster and level
of paranoia on these lists for a while, so I didn't bother unsubscribing.
Now that someone is just copy-pasting articles about Wikipedia that are
years old to one of the newer lists, it's sufficiently boring for me to
unsubscribe.

Yes, please do this. We're also talking with Google about trying to
resolve
the issue, but my understanding is that reporting
that you've been
fraudulently subscribed will help move that conversation along.
[Same applies to the fake gender-gap list.]
Thanks-
