Over two months ago I found a bug. I carefully read the FAQ, got
the latest version, read the NOTES, and prepared a bug report
as directed.
The reply said I would receive notification of the moderator's
decision:
Post by non-member to a members-only list
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.
I waited 2 weeks, then followed up with a post to the moderator at
fetchmail-friends-admin(_at_)lists(_dot_)ccil(_dot_)org
Still no response 6 weeks later.
One of these things needs to change:
1) The moderator needs to do what the messages says they will do,
leaving the process the same so it is easy to post a bug without
joining the list.
2) The process needs to be changed and documented, telling people
that the only way to report a bug is to actually join the list.
That would lower the quality of the software by making bugs
harder to report, but would relieve a bit of a burden on
the moderator.
Reading archives from over 6 months ago, I see that this sort
of problem has come up before. Could someone please take some
action?
Thank you.
Note that in the meantime, since the bug keeps biting me, I finally bit
the bullet, joined the list, and posted the bug
SIGPIPE error with unescaped ^\.$

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Post by non-member to a members-only list
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.
