FWIW, I received that message (dated Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:28:54 +0200),
as I was on the CC list.  In fact, I received two copies of it.

I see that it was also sent to Thomas Schwinge, Samuel Thibault, Richard
Braun, Andreas Enge, and Nikita Karetnikov.  It would be interesting to
know which of the recipients saw the message, and how it got lost.

We must keep in mind that email is no longer reliable, given the
widespread use of aggressive and heuristic spam filtering today.
