Sorry, I don't know the answer to that.  I kept looking for you, Dave or
Stefan on Jabber, but saw none.

Good question -- I didn't.

If you get me a password for accessing pmt, I'll gladly document the
whole shebang (which really needs some documenting -- the whole setup is
not entirely trivial).  Also, I'd like to put the scripts somewhere in a
community SCM (I put them in a CMD SVN as a temporary measure.)

That would be nice -- also the current scripts to generate the list of
lists contain some duplicate info; it's no wonder that the lists has
been out of date continuously.  I can lend a hand with that as needed.
