Hello

I know that this list has got nothing to do with git-scm (per se). But I
was recommended by Dscho to raise the issue here.[1]

Maybe someone who happens to be affiliated with git-users happens to
read this.
Hi,

This list is hidden in googlegroups, I'm guessing whoever owned it 
probably got his account hijacked and the list may now be controlled by 
spammers trying to push as much spam as possible to list users. You 
could try reporting to Google but I wouldn't hold high hopes on any 
outcome from that.

Maybe a better option would be to start an official git-users list, 
hosted by vger, so control is actually retained by git developers?

There doesn't appear to be a lot of user-centric lists there, but there 
are a few...

Regards,
