When the Sourceforge mailing-lists seem to not process mails anymore, you can try the following:

    Hail Mary full of grace,
    Deliver us from this terrible place,
    There is no mail, there is no news
    And no-one solves my Gambas blues.

    Please get us out of this terrible plight.
    My events don't fire, my handlers fold
    silently, no errors told.

    We hold the 'Forge in reverence
    and look each hour in expectation
    of clues, and even Tobi's sense
