Nice, thanks!

Certainly nothing to worry about.

On the contrary, your message is now there:

http://groups.google.com/group/lualatex-dev/msg/898274b13fb4f202

Don't ask me how this works, though :)

As far as I know (just a quick check, then), it's impossible for anyone but me to post to the list, but it's still tracking the messages sent to the tug mailing list.
