Duck is at DebConf 17 through the rest of this week so is unable to

Can you show me an example of what you are seeing?

I presume you mean security@ or security-private@ lists as there is no
ovirt-security@ list that I've seen or know of.

I'm not an admin for security@ovirt.org any longer so I would not be
receiving these confirmation floods.

I am the only admin for mailman@ as a vestige of having setup and run
the initial Mailman server and mailing lists as part of open sourcing
the project.

I suspect that >1 lists are seeing this activity. It has a pattern but
not one that I can easily see how to make a regexp or algorithm from.

Since I think the mailman@ list is not used by anyone other than Mailman
itself (and sporadically at that), I'm going to disable subscriptions
and at least stop this problem for myself.

But that won't stop it for other list admins, so ... more suggestions or
actions would be helpful. I'm a bit stumped.
