Did they contact you, or how do you know?
Yeah, I was pinged over IRC during the fedorahosted downtime

Maybe they don't know about the recent change that happened on May
16. The list seems to receive only about 30 email per day. That
shouldn't cause any problems. True, some of them (depcheck) might be
quite large. Please ask them whether they know that we reduced the
number of emails substantially 10 days ago. And if they know, what
exactly the problem is.
Yeah, I said that and I'm still not sure what the problem is. I think
it was mostly the 11GB mbox file that they were concerned about but
I'm hoping that isn't a problem now that we're not sending all of our
results to the list.
I think that your numbers are a bit off, though. Going through the
emails, there are several days where < 30 emails go to that list but
there seem to be just as many days where it receives 75-150 emails.
Some of these emails can be almost 500kB in plain text and I imagine
that is what is causing problems.
I believe that the motivation is to make sure that we're using a
solution that is the best choice for us whether that's mailman or
some sort of non-archiving repeater.

Great, thank you.
If anyone wants a copy of the file (809MB compressed), let me know.
