Hi Juliusz,
Very sorry about this.  Bart announced the nominations a couple of weeks
ago to xorg at l.fd.o, but simply forgot to mail xf_members.  A genuine
oversight (indeed, it was available on the _publicly archived_ list
rather than the private one, so there's no real lust for secrecy) rather
than malice.

Cheers,
Daniel
