(I was one of the active (answering) folks on that list.) Unfortunately, the sole owner appears to be AWOL long ago, and honestly I do not think I have ever seen a sole message from them since I have subscribed to that list (back in 2013 or even earlier). The list appears to be shut down by Google - possibly due to the fact I and possibly some other folks dutifully marked each SPAM message as such using the web interface. I have searched by failed to find any way to contact any kind of "support" to have the list unblocked. Unfortunately, so far it looks like a lost cause to me. This is sad because the group had tractable traffic - as opposed to, say, [git] tag on StackOverflow which has no SPAM but is literally drowned in silly questions so that its signal-to-noise ratio is too low to get interested to follow. Still, there's a couple of knowledgeable folks following it - namely, Torek and VonC, so you might have luck asking there, when needed.
