During the (transmission *lol* should be) transition to systemd the Arch
general mailing list was moderated.

Nobody is willing to do it, those who are willing to do it are people
who will make dubious decision, on the Arch general mailing list even
the questions of experienced Linux users often were rejected
"conclusively justified" with "a not smart enough question", "issue
isn't caused by Arch, report it to upstream".

The moderators need a sleep, have to work and eat and sometimes they go
to the toilette, so mails could come through or you receive the reply
why the mail is rejected with several hours of delay.

It's a job for people suffering from querulous paranoia, who check the
email addresses and reinterpret the CoC.
