Re: the sourceforge list

As far as I'm aware, this is entirely a Sourceforge issue. Audacity
has used the Sourceforge mailing service for many years, mostly
without problems. The Sourceforge company has changed hands several
times over the years. My guess is that their current management wants
to cut down on the number of dead email accounts in their database and
intends to purge accounts that have been silent for a long time.
That's just my guess - I'm not aware of any official announcement from
Sourceforge other that the email that we have each received.
