Thanks, Erik. Looks like the ASDF fork contributes [this Merge Request](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/-/merge_requests/83).
I will try to get that merged or closed in the next couple of days, and then you can close the GitLab account.
I got a flurry of emails for ASDF issues that might have been triggered by the transition. Seemed like maybe one email per open issue. This is possibly related to the request I got.
I checked the members and non-members lists for ASDF-devel and ASDF-announce and verified that Elias's email was not there.
More soon
Best, R

Hi Robert,
This request reached the admins from the site too. Based on contact with his brother (as requested by his mother), I was able to change the mail addresses associated with his GitLab account to something that ends up nowhere. Unfortunately, the situation with the mailing lists isn't too easy to identify: there is no "user" to be found in mailman3, even though his mail addresses seem to be receiving mail from our lists. After a lot of searching, I found his mail address in the list of "nonmembers" in clo-devel@ . Which other mailing lists he might be a "nonmember" of, I can't see without opening each of our <hundreds> mailing lists manually. I'll be happy to remove him from the lists as soon as I learn about them, as I have done with the prior requests. However, I would say that his mother who is the keeper of his mail accounts, is really in the best position to stop these mail flows: it's a matter of unsubscribing from these mailing lists, which I admit is probably not as easy for her as it is for our bunch -- which is also why I helped resolve the situation as soon as I learned about it.
As for the GitLab account: that's not part of any watch lists as far as I can see. The only reason to keep his account on GitLab is - as I have discussed this weekend with his brother - because there is an ASDF fork with commits that have not been integrated yet upstream. I promised his brother to contact you and ask you whether these commits need to be preserved. If not, his brother is fine with deleting Elias's account from GitLab which addresses at least part of the problem. Could you have a look at his fork and let me know what to do?
Regards,
Erik.

Will you please see if there are any emails that go to Elias Pipping < pipping.elias@icloud.com> from any mailing lists at common-lisp.net?
Possible alternative address elias.pipping@fu-berlin.de
Elias died some time ago and I have heard from his mother that he still gets emails, and she would like them cut off.
Ideally, it would also be good if he could be removed from any gitlab watch lists, etc., as well (Elias Pipping, @epipping) Maybe you could just blacklist his address from outgoing mail?
Thank you, Robert
