Sorry, one more thing:

I am about 99.9% certain no such announcement was made on this mailing
list. I've been right here, and am pretty certain I would have noticed
such an announcement. Perhaps it was made on some other mailing list,
to which I'm not subscribed.
That aside, if LDP decided that ####@####.#### would at some point
no longer be a valid submission method, wouldn't it be common sense to
at _least_ make that address no longer deliverable, or, better yet, make
the MTA autoreject mail to that address with an explanatory SMTP 55x
Delivery Status Notification rejection?
That was not done. I was one of perhaps many HOWTO authors repeatedly
submitting updates during the early 2010s without any indication of
their being a problem, but later figuring out that these submissions
merely disappeared into a black hole, silently.
That is now merely an embarrassing LDP screwup from bygone days and a
lesson about how to shoot one's self in the foot, but I strongly
doubt your assertion about an announcement that submission via e-mail
would no longer be supported. If you disagree, can you show me this in
the archives? I've just reviewed back postings from January 2010 to the
present, and find no such announcment. On the other hand, I did see a
posting by Martin A. Brown on Feb. 4, 2016 that submission by e-mail for
authors declining to use GitHub would continue. When I attempted to do
so, and indicated I was amenable to any other non-GitHub means, I was of
course ignored, as noted.
Anyhow, if you seriously claim (some person) 'announced it on the list',
kindly show where this occurred. Thanks.
