Chris sent a mail on 2 Feb 2006, I'm cc'ed.   I sent a follow-up mail on
20 Feb 2006, Chris was cc'ed.  Both mails were sent to

  Hi Alan,

  Are you still interested in being the cygwin/x maintainer?  I haven't
  seen much activity from you in the mailing list.

  I understand completely if you don't have the time for this but I think
  we need really need some active involvement on the mailing list and we
  probably need a new release as well.

  Should we open up this up for other volunteers?

My follow-up mail was just a ping.  It's strange that both messages
should be lost or being munched by a spam filter.
