Actually no, the sysadmins are the ones who can fix this.

Some time ago, they added a size restriction in order to reduce
excessive bandwith resulting from large messages occasionally sent to
the lists.  This affected commits with huge diffs, and we agreed
subsequently to ignore messages exceeding the default size limit if
they originate from Savannah:

Apparently this stopped working since at least few months, and I
intended to reraise the issue again.  (I'm adding the RT ticket number
to the Subject, which would hopefully reopen it again.)
