+<p>There are two announce@ mailing lists where the release announcement gets
+posted: The Subversion project's [email protected] list, and the
ASF-wide [email protected]
+list. It is possible that your message to the ASF-wide announce@ list will be

+the rejection message, making the rejection anonymous, and the grounds for the
+rejection may be invalid. Be that as it may, keep calm and forward the
+rejection to the dev@ mailing list so the project can discuss whether anything
+needs to be done about it. (If necessary, announce@ mailing list moderators can
