Hi,
I've noticed a few odd things on the u-boot mailing list lately.
A couple of weeks ago I seemed to stop getting new messages. At first I thought this was just gmail deciding to helpfully file messages away for me but they didn't appear anywhere (even in spam). Then I thought maybe I'd been unsubscribed (there were a couple of automated messages around the time the problems started for me that I'd just ignored). But when I went to re-subscribe I got a message saying I was already subscribed. Recently I tried again and this time I was re-subscribed successfully. Just now I got a "Your message to U-Boot awaits moderator approval" after I replied to a thread.
Is there something going on with the list or have I just managed to get things into a confused state.
The problem (largely) is unfortunately on Google's side and as far as I know we can't do anything about it. Once again everyone using gmail (or I believe Google domains) was bounced, and I think it's the second time this year that happened. I'm not entirely sure if we can easily re-configure mailman to not add the moderate flag when someone posts while not subscribed, then subscribes. It's just a one time thing and I do clear the flag whenever I see it pop up.
