I'm now checking the moderation queue for edk2-discuss; I seem to have
found your original message there. I'll allow it through in a minute.

Problem: moderators don't get email notifications from groups.io about
new items to moderate. (I certainly don't.) Other mailing list software
tends to send out 1 reminder message per day, IIRC (e.g. Mailman2). This
effectively requires moderators to check the WebUI daily, which is very
annoying -- most of the time, there is nothing to moderate (or just junk
mail to delete), so a daily check is a waste of time.

Problem: on the actual WebUI, a few minutes ago I opened the Pending
box, and it showed me 3 (three) messages. All of those were pending
moderation for edk2-devel. I deleted them (they were all spam), and
logged out. I have now logged back in, and am seeing 8 (eight) messages
pending moderation -- this time for edk2-discuss. The issue is that the
WebUI does not show a *summary* page to moderators -- I happen to be a
moderator for 4 edk2 lists (devel, announce, discuss, rfc), and for
covering all of those, I need to separately select *each list* first,
and then check for pending items. In other words, multiply the annoyance
described in the prior paragraph by four. :/

So, sorry about the delay. This is very easy to miss. Until 2021,
checking all four moderation queues had been part of my daily (morning)
routine, but since then, I've forgotten about it.
