Better late then never... sorry for this eleven-month delay.
Jérôme asked for this too so here you are.  The list passwords
are as follows.

http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/admin/heroes-announce/   h-a-p
http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/admin/heroes-bugs/       h-b-p
http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/admin/heroes-commits/    h-c-p
http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/admin/heroes-discuss/    h-d-p

They are easy to recall: the `p' stand for `password'.  IIRC the
passwords are the same on SourceForge, but the SF lists are
setup to forward everything to nongnu.org [*], and are no longer
open for subscription.  (FWIW my feeling is that many of the
spam forwarded by the SF lists is caught by the spamassassin
filtering setup on the gnu.org mail servers, only a small amount
of the spam gets thru, but I may be wrong.)

If you plan to moderate these lists, fell free to remove me from
the administrator addresses.  I don't really have the time to
react to these administrative mails anyway.

[*] It needs to be so, because the contact addresses advertised
    in the last Heroes versions should continue to work.
