There is a chance that the mail got lost or filtered.
Another possibility is that dsa2list failed at that time because not all
mirrors were yet in sync (perhaps related to the recent breakages of the
dak scripts?).
This is just guessing, I can delve into it later when I have more time.
Still, I think the current solution performs very acceptably compared to
what we had.

It is currently run on one of my servers with very stable network
connectivity (same connectivity as klecker). I could probably move it to
alioth or similar when I find some time. One issue is that the current
subscribed address receives emails as one of the first on the list, it
would be nice to have a similar speedy solution when moving it.
A really ideal solution would involve storing DSA data in a more
structured form, and generating all output formats from that (e-mail,
webpages, RSS, tracker, ...) from that instead of trying to parse mails
after the fact.
