Hi,
I think the email somehow didn't reach wikitech-l and some other mailing
lists (except ambassadors)

The message did made it to wikitech-l:

https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/7XEMHHZZR4EF2JFKYBGZFKTSPUEPI6TW/

I only got it via [wikibots-l] though. I suspect it is an issue with
mailman which would prevent delivering the same messages multiple times
even if it is dispatched to different mailing lists.

There is a bug filed https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/914
which looks awkwardly close to the issue:

/When a message is cross-posted and held on more than one list,
handling the held post on one list will delete the held message from
the message store. The held post is still in the held message view
on the other list(s) and viewing, rejecting or discarding the post
all behave reasonably, but accepting the post results in
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: {"title": "500 Internal
Server Error"}
/

I have filed it as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T345691 , then I
don't know anything about mailman, but it might be worth looking at the
server side logs./
