This list was created +30 years ago by the founder and early members of the GNU Project. It was intended as a place where people would be free to express their concerns and talk about topics related to free software and GNU that did not have a place in other existing lists.
It never had any kind of moderation beyond the usual deletion of spam and the inclusion of some guidelines in the info page.
After all these years, suddenly the users of this list witness the entry of two people, namely Carlos O'Donell and Mark Wielaard, who abruptly declare themselves administrators and moderators.
How and by whom they were appointed remains unknown. Certainly not by the GNU project. So until they offer some plausible explanation, I am very much inclined to think they took it by force.
