It was known to happen every so often. Probably among the reasons Mozilla's ditching this arrangement. :-) Trying to get them to fix it when it was broken (if anyone noticed it was broken) often took months of prodding. I don't work at Mozilla anymore, but I used to, and I originally set up the Mozilla-side of that automation. There's a list generated at <a href="https://lists.mozilla.org/newsgroups.txt">https://lists.mozilla.org/newsgroups.txt</a> which Google and GigaNews are supposed to be polling nightly and updating their configuration to match. The absence of a list in that file means Google should be closing it to posting and marking it archived, and GigaNews should be removing the group, and mozilla.dev.builds is indeed not listed in there.<br></div><div><br></div><div id="sig108939536"><div class="signature">Dave Miller [:justdave]<br></div><div class="signature">Thunderbird Release Engineer/Web Infra Engineer<br></div><div class="signature"><br></div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
