Informal and short. "Hi! I know you've been bothered a couple of times
with this already, but I'm helping update which GNOME user groups are
active and what you're up to, and I'd really appreciate a quick answer
from you, since you're listed as a contact for <GNOME user group name>.
Can you let me know if you're still involved with the GUG? If not, can
you let me know who is now the main contact for the GUG, please?"

I definitely think that a somewhat apologetic tone is appropriate. Also,
describing what GCI is, and the task as defined there, at the end of
your mail, might help smooth things over too. I suspect many GNOME User
Group people don't really know what GCI is.

Cheers,
Dave.
