Paul, I reiterate, Red Hat screwed something up and these people were
added inadvertently. They can't unsubscribe themselves. Someone from Red
Hat has to. If you were on the redhat list you would see that Marc from
Red Hat is monitoring the lists and removing these people manually.
Please all, don't jump on these people. They can't get themselves off.

Where did you read that? All these unsubscribe/nomail requests didn't
interest me and went to trash folder here until this topic came up.

On redhat-list (which is separate from fedora-list), Matthew Galgoci
posted:

    In an effort to clean up the list subscribership, I have turned
    down the bounce hysteresis to a low triggering value and enabled
    list delivery for everyone.

    I am removing addresses that bounce and the balance that I don't
    see bouncing directly will be removed by the list software
    automatically.

    For people that opted for the nomail option and are now suddenly
    getting a deluge of mail, sincerly I appologize. Simply send me an
    email asking to have the nomail option for your preferences
    restored or if you want to be removed entirely, let me know and I
    will remove you from the list.

So, what happened is that the list admin reset the customized settings
for everyone back to defaults. The message does not say that people
were subscribed to the list accidentally.

They can. Either via web or the separate -request bot.

Which is an offer because he screwed up and reset the settings
beforehand.

Okay, I stand corrected. I had sent a message to Mathew and he said
that
he was dealing with the redhat-list and redhat-install-list. He said
that those were the only two. It just seemed coincidental that there
were a number here at the same time as on the red hat list. 
I will step back down now and go skulk in a corner with my head hung low
whimpering like an old sot. :-P

Yes, do that for the good of your soul. At least 49231.2 ms in the corner
is required for proper cleansing of your soul.

Yes, and I have cleansed the room with smudged sage, and danced on one
foot while chanting "Great Googlie Mooglie" four times. Sheesh!
