I can see it locally, but in the gnu.org archives it's in an attached
text file.  So I think there's something going on with my mail setup
that I'll have to look into.  Thanks for letting me know.

True.  So I've now added it to the file synchronization script that I
already use for etc/publicsuffix.txt.

I'll add that script to emacs.git when I can find some time, to decrease
the bus factor.

I think it's okay to still send the form if someone asks.  Hopefully
we'll get fewer of those, which is one less thing to think of for us.
