Apologies for the age of this message.  I'll take care of it.  It
hasn't previously been within the capabilities of the listhelpers (it
needed the mailman admins) but I now have the the ability to do it.

For the future a better place for forwarding any other mailing list
request is to < mailman AT gnu.org > which is always a good action.
Then the entire team can can look at it and not just me.  Then there
is a safety net of others if it gets lost in my mailbox for too long.

And I completely agree about the problem since there are so many
archive sites on the net.  Plus:
