I don't think your conclusion is supported by the statement from hostmaster...
"We don't know of anyone who hasn't reached out to us" doesn't mean that nobody has reached out to them... It means that they are unaware. Asking the hostmasters about this issue in the way you did is akin to walking into a room full of people and saying "Everyone who is not here, please raise your hand" and concluding from the lack of raised hands that everyone is present.
