> Moderators are required to validate subscription requests to certain private mail lists.
> It can be tedious checking whether access is allowed; and given that it is infrequent, it can require extra effort to remember what is involved.
> The stages are:
> 1) determine what the subscription criteria are (e.g. ASF member)
> 2) Convert 3rd-party e-mail to ASF id if necessary
> 3) Check ASF id to see if they are a member or not
> It would help moderators if the subscription validation messages contained at least some of the necessary information.
> This would require a script that can process an e-mail address and lookup the required information, which can then be included in the moderator message.
> [A very crude solution would be just to include the procedure and pointers to the data in the message; might help a bit]
