We had a mail server configuration problem that was a result of thousands of
zombie hosts all trying to relay mail via mail.kernel.org. This caused our
public RBL lookups to fail with "you're using us too much!" error, which
unfortunately fails in the worst possible ways -- by marking all RBL lookups
as spam.

Our monitoring quickly alerted us to this, but unfortunately we did bounce
pretty much all incoming mail for about 10-15 minutes. If there was a patch
series coming in during that time, that would have generated enough bounces to
cause the archiver address to be unsubscribed.

This is the reason why there's a gap from May 31 to June 6. If you would like
to contribute the missing messages, I'll be happy to feed them into the
archive.
