This is exactly what I was hoping for :)

There were some problems with the roundup migration. I suppose things will 
be fixed in a few days at most and your previous entry should turn up 
again.

Good of you to ask. I don't mind getting a private e-mail, but I think it'll 
be better if we coordinate such things on the to-be-created mailinglist.

And it'll be valuable. I have no idea how many issues are hidden in those 
files, but as long as they're not checked and logged at the roundup server, 
they probably won't get fixed.
