Lists hosted at Red Hat were broken for a while. I wouldn't be
surprised if your mail is still in a queue somewhere, but it could
also be gone.

The list has now been moved to another machine with mailman/postfix
(it was on some legacy RH 5.x box), so it should work a lot better in
the future. Also, if you go to http://mail.gnome.org you can set up
your list preferences and so on with the nice mailman interface.

As you know but others probably don't, I have a CVS repository that
might be a good home for the draft at http://www.freedesktop.org.  If
people want I can put the spec in CVS and on the web site, which lets
everyone see the canonical latest version at an easy-to-remember URL.
