Sorry for the delay.

If we could, we'd probably have the list reject instead of
hold, as there's generally not much chance we will approve
large messages.  But that's not something we can configure
at the list admin level in mailman (AFAIK).

It's better to trim the output than wait for the messages to
be approved or rejected.

The list owners / moderators can be reached via the
${list}-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org.  The list info page
does include this information.

I see; the headers to your last message amount to about 10 Kbytes. But I would have expected that even with headers, a message of about 44 Kbytes would be under 60 Kbytes. I already trimmed the text size down from about 53 Kbytes to abpit 44 Kbytes.

I guess a message of more than about 30 Kbytes of text should not be expected to go through. In the future I will save long files to Google Docs and send a link. Bother!
