What happened is unfortunate, but simple to explain:
The announce list is moderated for all posts, so every post needs to be
approved before it is sent out.
The Fedora Program Manager (Ben Cotton) Sent those emails out at various
times and they waited in the moderation queue for approval.
I usually approve those posts, but for some reason mailman did not send
me the normal 'post waiting for moderation', or if it did, I didn't see
it as I was on vacation, then traveling to meetings. Others who also
approve those must not have seen them either as no one did.
So, when I noticed them I approved them all, but as you note they then
showed up all in a bunch.
In order to prevent this from happening again, I've made Ben a list
moderator so he can approve posts and we will be looking to see why the
moderation emails didn't go out.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for the clarification. Do you have any sense of how this may
have affected voting numbers compared to previous years?
