I have to do it myself, sorry :)

Obviously, this doesn't work for cygwin-announce, which requires
an admin to approve the mail before it hits the mailing list.  In
case of cygwin-announce, starting with a question on cygwin-apps
is still the right thing to do.

However, if you got confirmation that the mail didn't make it into
the mailboxes of the list admins, taking it to postmaster is what
you should do next.
