I thought Jeanne was the administrator too.  I'm not.
Whoever is the admin goes to the above URL and acts
as mailing list god(ess).  You probably use _your_
password, you have one for the mailing list.  It will
email you your password if you ask it to from the web
(or send a request to babase-admin@bwf-master.princeton.edu.
I think everything that can be done from the web
can be done by email too, handy for places like amboseli.)

_Somebody_ should let Ann onto the list.
