Well, you totally ignored the second sentance:
'This is "the contact of last resort" when other committee contacts fail
to respond.'
So, when your AM could not help and the DAM did not respond, your next
step should have been to contact me, which you have done, but only after
pushing mail into everyone else's mailbox.
By not following the process you have wasted not only a bunch of your own
time, but that of other developers as well.
I'm currently looking into the situation and will report back to you once
I know more than I do now. But, I must say that you haven't given anyone
much incentive to help. You clearly believe that you are "doing things
correctly", but your self-righteous attitude makes your position hard to
empathize with.
Waiting is,
