Spoke to Brian Behlendorf, and he clarified what [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is and why the EZMLM subscription mechanism doesn't apply to it.
Here's a paraphrase:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't an EZMLM list; when a message goes to it, a
message is sent to every address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" where "user" is each
individual in the "apcvs" group on daedalus.  If someone has not set up
offsite forwarding for their [EMAIL PROTECTED] email, then their mail is
still on daedalus, in their ~/Mailbox file.  They need to email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to get a new password to get on the machine so they
can read that email, then preferably set up a .forward or .qmail file.

Commiters, please, PLEASE take measures to handle your
[commiter]@apache.org email account.  This is a responsibility that
goes hand in hand with your commiter status.  :)

I handle mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a .qmail file which directs
messages to another account (much a like a sendmail-esque .forward
file):

dlr@daedalus:dlr$ cat .qmail 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

PASSWORDS AND PUBIC KEYS ON APACHE.ORG WERE WIPED (as you'd know had
you been watching your [EMAIL PROTECTED] email ;).  I have sent
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for those of you who responded to my previous
email, requesting that new temporary passwords or installation of SSH
keys.  The following existing commiters were mentioned in my email,
and I have verified to be in the "apcvs" group which receives
commiters@ email:

John Thorhauer
Ilkka Priha
Jeffrey D. Brekke

I have also requested new accounts for the following developers
(as defined at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/roles.html):

Eric Dobbs
Dave Polito
Henning P . Schmiedehausen

The developers mentioned should expect mail within the week (could be
sooner).  If no mail is forthcoming, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] directly,
citing this email.  Those commiters not mentioned above who still
don't have access should mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] own their own.

Thanks to everyone for making the ASF great!

Daniel Rall
