Hidding listadmin personal emails from the listinfo page

I find it privacy-less and annoying that the personal emails of the listadmins are publicy listed in the listinfo page such as in https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l - Is there a way to get them removed and just show the <listname>-owner@lists.wikimedia.org? Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 08:43, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Technically speaking, yes this is possible but it does mean that if you wish to find out who the list admins for a particular list are and contact them, this isn't that easy - are you having a particular problem with spam emails, or is this just as a general principle?

I've found that changing some lines of HTML did it. Yes, I was having since the first day problems with spam emails. However it is also important the respect for our privacy. We shouldn't be forced to show our email addresses publicy if we don't want to. If somebody wants to contact the listops, an email to -owner will do it as we all we receive it.

How does one go about setting up a new list?

We are going to need one of these lists for Wikimedia Medicine. How do I go about requesting one? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:28, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

You'll need to request it at bugzilla: in Product: Wikimedia - Component: Mailing lists. Regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:24, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Okay and how would one do that? Is there a email address I can send the request to? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:10, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

No: register. Try Bugzilla. --Nemo 13:41, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Or tell me the list you want & details and I can submit the ticket for you. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:02, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Wonderful. The list name will be Wikimedia Medicine. The description will be a thematic group to promote the development of medical related content. Wikimedia Medicine Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Would you like the list to be public or private (i recommend public) and would you like it to archive? Who should be the moderator? Philippe (WMF) (talk) 20:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Marco filed a bug earlier, bugzilla:40726 - I agree with the list being public and archived. I imagine James can be a moderator if he's willing to be one, so we just need an alternative one. Thehelpfulone 20:53, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes public, archived, and I will moderate. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:30, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, we like to setup lists with a secondary list admin/moderator as a backup in case the first one goes inactive for a while or gets busy IRL as an example, is there anyone you know that could be a secondary moderator? Note: this isn't an absolute requirement, just something that's "nice to have". Thehelpfulone 21:32, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
