That much I get.  It's the following in the faq and the instructions 
that is not happening:

"The majordomo maintainer then runs (out of cron) the 'bounce-remind' 
script periodically, which sends mail to all the people on the 
bounces list, saying essentially "you were removed from list 'foo' 
because mail to you bounced. To subscribe yourself back to the list, 
send the following commands ...". There's no facility yet for 
trimming the bounces list, but it's easy to write one because the 
date the person was added to the bounces list is included"

The date is included in the email from 'bounce' but not 
'bounce-remind' to the user.

Should the date be included somewhere in the bounces list?

Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for

dregs of what they read. 4. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who
profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also. -Samuel
