Re: Fwd: [Tools-discuss] Notes on the account creation steps for mailman3

Q1: And there is going to be another email coming our way then to explain on which URL one would need to claim
email addresses ??

Q2: This mailman is independent of our datatracker profile, so it will not help to get
rid of my collection of deactivated typo email addresses from myself and IETF co-authors over the past
fe decades ?

Cheers
