<div>for now, I think I'm the only moderator on the list.</div>
<div>Usually, I accept (or reject) the messages in 48 hours max,

Subject: Proposal: Mailing List owner policy<br>

Dear Community,<br>
<br>
One important part of mailing lists being healthy is
owners/moderators[1].<br>
<br>
They moderate the lists, they help users that want to
subscribe/unsubscribe but don't know how to, they enact
emergency moderation in the very very seldom case that it is
needed, etc.<br>
<br>
So to keep our mailing lists healthy we need to be sure to
have healthy list owners.<br>
<br>
In plural, more than one, because from time to time, we go
on vacation and the list duties still need taking care of.<br>
<br>
For that I'd like to enact this policy:<br>
<br>
Mailing lists should have at least 2 active owners,
ideally 3 [Obviously exceptions apply, like if we just
started a mailing list to coordinate translators for a
language that has no translation in KDE yet, we'd probably
have no way to get 2 list owners]<br>
<br>
One keyword in that sentence is "active".<br>
<br>
Mailing list ownership/moderation un-activity is hard to
detect.<br>
<br>
One way to potentially detect it, is by those summaries that
sysadmin sends periodically for lists with lots of mails to
moderate, but that doesn't cover all the cases.<br>
<br>
For example, it's possible that a mailing list has 2 owners
and only one of them is inactive, since the other one is
keeping the list in working condition we don't see it as a
problem, but if that person goes on holiday, then it
suddenly is.<br>
<br>
For that I'd like to enact this policy sub-point:<br>
<br>
Mailing list owners will be contacted every year asking
if they are still active and if they want to continue being
list owner or if they'd prefer we find a substitute.<br>
<br>
If they say "please find a substitute" or fail to answer in
a given time frame (I'd say a month is fair), they will be
removed as owners and in case the "at least 2 active owners,
ideally 3" policy is broken we'll find a new person.<br>
<br>
Does that sound something like we could agree on?<br>
<br>
Then the big question is "who will do this work?" Because it
seems quite a bit of work (albeit only once a year). I would
suggest the Community Working Group does this, as it's a way
to keep our community healthy, but i understand it's quite
some work, so i volunteer to do it if the CWG doesn't feel
this is a task they want to take on. <br>
<br>
Things I'm missing?<br>
<br>
Improvement suggestions?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Albert<br>

[1] yes, i know they are not the same, but since one is a
subset of the other, let's pretend they are.<br>
