Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Auto-generated emails containing secure information received

I also received such an email from technology-pmc-request@xxxxxxxxxxx stating that emails from the technology-pmc list to my gmail account bounced. This email includes a password in plain text. The mailing list membership page mentioned in the email
  https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/options/technology-pmc/<my email address url encoded>
responds "404 Not found".

Subject: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Auto-generated emails containing secure information received

Hi Technology PMC owners, EMO,

I received an email to confirm my subscription to Technology PMC distribution list. This email is highly insecure because it contains my password in plain text. 

Can you please prioritize fixing the emails sent such that they don’t contain passwords in plain text? 

Honestly, I was a bit shocked and I am worried about the security and privacy controls to keep our account safe. 

Architecture council, EMO,

What is the mechanism to request a verification that such incidents are handled promptly and systematic fixes are applied?

Thanks,
Nikhil.
