As I mentioned earlier, I was the list maintainer for all the LUV 
mailing lists until a couple of years ago when I got locked out of the 
system and to the best of my knowledge (and as evidenced by the daily 
emails I still get reporting the ever growing quantity of unhandled spam 
and errors) nobody else seems to be doing it.

The new service is intended only to replace luv-announce, which was 
always a bulk email list for sending out announcements.  I am not aware 
of any plans to migrate the other lists as of yet, but as always I'm 
sure volunteers would be welcome.  Especially those with email 
experience who know the common mistakes!

The "different people" in question being the current organisers of LUV. 
The lack of communication was unfortunate.  Please try to be kind; I 
understand Sophie is unwell at present.

Hope that helps,
