The WMF isn't telepathic, at least to the best of my knowledge. Before you sent this did you have any reason to believe that the WMF was already aware of the situation and its significance? If not - this email chain probably would have been more likely to be productive if your first email was just "This is kind of a big deal and I don't see any blog post up about it yet, can I write one?" I've always found that all other things being equal, people are much more likely to want to assist me if I'm not already assuming that their actions are malicious.
