12:22 <mattip> I sent a mail to hpy-dev-owner@python.org about spam on the mailing list and what numpy-discussion did to mitigate it

12:23 <mattip> I am not sure who the owner is, did anyone receive the mail?

13:23 <antocuni> mattip: I received the email so I guess I am the owner

13:25 <antocuni> I agree with the new policy

13:25 <mattip> antocuni: cool. If you want help setting it up/moderating the list let me know

13:25 <antocuni> why does it need help from postmaster@python.org? Isn't it something that can be done from the mailman settings?

13:28 <mattip> I hope so: https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/hpy-dev.python.org/ -> settings -> acceptance

13:28 <mattip> then "Default action to take when a member posts to the list" -> "hold for moderation"

13:29 <mattip> save changes

13:29 <antocuni> done

13:29 <antocuni> currently the list has no moderators

13:30 <antocuni> is there anyone who volunteers to be listed as one? I'm happy to do it

13:30 <antocuni> but it's probably good to have more than one

13:30 <mattip> there is no real difference between moderators and owners, since to move a user from "moderated" to "default" requires owner priveleges

13:31 <antocuni> I'm happy to add more pople to owners, if it's possible

13:31 <mattip> cool, you can add me if you want

13:32 <mattip> users -> owners -> then fill in the form

13:32 <antocuni> done

13:32 <antocuni> FWIW, vstinner is also an owner

13:34 <mattip> because the list is so low-volume, I suggest a single spam message will move someone down a step in the categories:

13:34 <mattip> unmoderated -> moderated -> unsubscribed

13:35 <mattip> I can copy paste the policy from numpy-discussions and make that modification

13:35 <mattip> that way we don't have to count 3 strikes like numpy-discussion

13:38 <antocuni> yes, I think it's pretty clear which users are bot

13:39 <mattip> https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/hpy-dev.python.org/ now has a policy statement

13:42 <antocuni> thank you

13:50 <fangerer> antocuni: mattip: thanks for taking care.

14:15 <Hodgestar> antocuni: I am happy to help moderate.

15:04 <mattip> to move a user's moderation state: https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/hpy-dev.python.org/ -> users

15:04 <mattip> then enter their mail, click to search for it, then click on the mail

15:05 <mattip> at the bottom are "administrator options", choose the appropriate moderation level

15:12 <antocuni> Hodgestar: thank you! I've made you an owner as well

15:12 <antocuni> fangerer: do you want to become an owener as well?

15:13 <fangerer> sure, yes, I'll happy to moderate as well

15:17 <antocuni> done

16:39 <Hodgestar> antocuni: Tx for wrangling the settings.

17:42 <antocuni> np, and thanks to mattip for the idea
