Bob,

The first two settings (in bold)seem to say that even moderators' (and
owners also?) posts are moderated, Hmmmm.
...
Only moderators can post to the group.

This one blocks members from posting. It corresponds to the Announcement Group checkbox in the Spam Control section of the group's Settings.

* * Posts to this group require approval from the moderators.*

This one affects everyone, moderators and owners included. Of course, any given subscriber could have the "Override: not moderated" posting privilege (though I generally recommend against using that).

Most strange is that Messages are set to reply to sender so, ...

Not at all surprising, given that this is an Announcement group. The other likely choice for an announcement group would be sending replies to the +owner address.

unless one knows a fair bit about groups.io, how does one get the Mama
owner or moderator to help you?

Well, one way is to reply to a message. That won't post to the group but it will reply back to whichever moderator/owner sent the message.

Or one might use the group's +owner address, listed at the bottom of the group's home page.

And of course the group might tell members how to contact the mods/owners in their Welcome message, in their Group Guidelines, or even in a periodic message.
