I did mess up one mailing, but resent it with a proper email. The email
was sent correctly to Google's servers on September 4th:

Maybe it ended up in your spam folder?

I'm not sure I'm ready yet for the thankless task of maintaining a
package with such a hostile upstream (and I thank you for that work
while I'm here!) but I'd be happy to review future uploads.
Just give me a shout.
Cheers!
