Have you tried postmaster (at vger.kernel.org)?
For the record, I tried to use `git send-email` to send out the announcement for the very first time, and the headers of the mbox file I fed to that command read thusly: -- snip -- From 2.10.2.windows.1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin <redacted> Date: Wed, 02 Nov 2016 21:43:54 +0100 To: git-for-windows@googlegroups.com, git@vger.kernel.org Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.10.2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Fcc: Sent -- snap -- The only problem I could *possibly* imagine is this UTF-8 bullet character used in the enumerations in the mail body: • [...]
The above header you showed says "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" and I am hoping that this response to you will go out with that labelling back to vger, so we will hopefully see if that bullet is the culprit (I doubt it, though). I have no specific suspect at this point yet, other than "somebody that gets your message from send-email and passes to vger may be mangling it".
