That's my assumption.

I happened to have brought this to Bram's attention when I got it.  Bram 
indicated that he didn't get a copy.  I mailed Travis asking where he 
got my email, and got this in reply:

"I sent this to friends, colleagues, and others I've seen participate in the
P2P space.  Do you have any interest in getting involved?

Travis"

So, generally, I find it a bit shady.  I was somewhat concerned that he 
was harvesting the bittorrent_help list, since that's the one I run. 
This list was my second guess.

A couple of other interesting points:  You'll notice that the note was 
worded like a mailing list post, i.e. not addressed to any one person. 
You'll notice that he's calling for a number of items that aren't in the 
collective BitTorrent yet, possibly indicating that he's trying to make 
a proprietary version or fork.

And someone pointed out this item:
