After some years of no activity the packages list came alive with a noisier than
LKML level of messages. So I decided to vanish from the list.
I looked at the headers of one of the updates emails and found this sequence:
===8<---
List-Id: Fedora Package Announcements <package-announce.lists.fedoraproject.org>
Archived-At:
<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/37PW452NQQPCRB5VAE6EXXPXKSTGWTG4/>

List-Post: <mailto:package-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
List-Subscribe:

List-Unsubscribe:
<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/package-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
<mailto:package-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
===8<---
So I dutifully emailed mailto:package-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
===8<---

That was apparently the wrong thing to do. I got this in reply:

Either correct your headers, make lists.fedoraproject.org grow the proper
username, or otherwise rectify your error before one loses her basic faith in
the integrity of RedHat's basic bug elimination 101 abilities.
Shame on you.
