I think they automatically (and temporarily) fall off the list if
they're not sufficiently up-to-date, which I'd guess is something to
do with the large numbers of updates recently. Dresden and Bochum are

ps: Btw, your habit of starting a new thread for every reply is rather
annoying. Please consider changing your subscription from digest to
message-by-message and use your mailer to dump Cygwin mail into a
separate folder.
pps: Mailing list admins, is there really any need for the digest option?
