I volonteer to be the moderator (or comoderator).  I'm already moderating
2 Mailman based mailing list, both of which were full of spam before I
took the maintenance and haven't had any single spam message so far
(address@hidden and address@hidden - note that I don't fear to mention
the addresses without "mangling").  I have an account on gnu.org.  I'm
familiar with regular expressions, procmail and spam-related issues.  I
helped ordb.org with translating their pages into Russian.

I'm familiar with GRUB and submitted several fixes to it in the past.  I 
can distinguish ontopic from offtopic.

All discarded mail will be forwarded to spamcop.net.  HTML, non-ASCII
scripts (Cyrillic, Korean) and "ms-*" attachments will be discarded.  
Really dumb one-line questions (where do I get your software?) from
non-subscribers will be rejected and answered by me.  Moderation delay
will be 24 hours maximum except holidays.  I promise to surrender
moderation permissions or find a co-moderator if I cannot provide quick
moderation.
