I know that Fabian already said that he fixed this.  However, also
recall that the lists on Alioth (maybe all mailman lists by default)
will block messages with too many recipients in the To/CC fields.  I'm
not sure what the threshold is, but the message I sent initially and to
which you replied-all had about 40 recipients.  In know that for several
packages which use Alioth lists as their contact point I had to have
manual approval of the message because of the length of the recipient
list.

Regards,
