The list server has been horribly unreliable for a long time now. The
problem doesn't seem to belong to any specific individual and since nobody
wants to claim "ownership" of the mailing list, it is not likely to be
fixed.

I'd suggest that you find a way to get regular access to the newsgroup via a
reliable newsreader. When the list server started going haywire on me a
while back, I made enough noise with my boss about how access to the
newsgroup is profitable to the company, saves us time, etc. etc. etc. and
the Internet Gestapo here relaxed the rules and found a way to let us have
access to the newsgroup. Try making a similar arguement and maybe your
company will provide newsreader access.
