(Apologies for the re-send, didn't realize my MUA sent that last one
from my personal address not my work one.)

I thought I was already subscribed. Trying to subscribe again sent me a
password change message. Looking at the archives, there has been
activity I should have been receiving. I can run this down on my end, we
have an unpublished spam black list that may have simply dropped these
messages.

I have also been corresponding with Jeff about these changes and have
rolled back commits for them and moved them onto a branch for the time
being. I am working with him to figure out how best to coordinate a
release of these changes, once I have completed and tested them.
