Subject: how to sign up to debian-devel?

I'm a new debian developer, and though everything else is working fine,
I'm not signed up to the debian-devel mailing list. I've tried mailing
the owner, sending subscribe messages to the listserver, etc, and I've
never gotten any response back (It's been weeks). So, a last plea here:
how can I sign up to that mailing list?

Hm, I also tried to subscribe mailing to the listserver.  I did this 
because of the following text in http://www.debian.org/1.1/release.html

To subscribe to the mailing lists, send the word "subscribe" to one of 
these addresses: 

[email-masked] 
       There are a lot of experienced users on this list who can answer 
any question you might have. There can be 20 messages a day or more on 
this list. 
[email-masked] 
	Major system announcements. Averages less than one message per week. 
[email-masked] 
       This is a list for announcements of new package uploads for the 
Debian system. It may carry several announcements in a day. 

I also didn't receive an answer.  Then i tried filling in the form 
http://www.rahul.net/perens/Debian/MailingLists.html.  This worked fine.
There's a link from www.debian.org to this page.

Same problem here also.  Do I sense a pattern?

I did use that form to sign up to all the other debian mailing lists, but
it doesn't have an entry for the debian-devel list (I guess bacause it's a
closed list..) I tried mailing [email-masked], and
I've never gotten a reply back, and I sent the message on the 22nd of
August..

getting on to debian-devel.

I thought you were just supposed to mail Bruce, directly.  I haven't
ever tried to get on, though...

I hate to post a me too message, but I am having the same problems.  I 
posted a little while ago about it, but I don't remember any body getting 
back to me about it.

I'm not responsible for the mailing lists, but I understand
there's some problems with their maintainance. Bruce is working
on it.
