The case with the bounces is a bit difficult. We sent the mails to $login@users.alioth.debian.org; so what we have now is a mix of - bounces of retired DDs where the old account still exists on Alioth but the forward to $login@debian.org doesn't work any more (Alioth bug maybe, but no MIA material); - some cases of recipient callout verification errors where it's not clear to me where the problem is as there are at least three mail servers involved (my smarthost, alioth, the receiving one); - and the rest which can be a simple misconfiguration of a person's alioth forward, or something else ...
