Hello, I am answering here to give a closure for this matter. I should start by thanking everyone who took the time to read my message and who spent more time answering me!
I have been contacted by Claude Paroz, he handled the situation professionally, just trying to help and giving me directions. My last take is instead of getting everyone involved in such a thing, probably there should be a dedicated mailing list to handle similar administrative issues. Sincerely, Nart.
