Hi!

Yeah, there is a strange delay since approximately a day ago. It's in
the outbound delivery from the commit messages. We are currently
investigating where it's coming from -- we're seeing similar patterns
from a couple of other hosts. The delay happens before it even hits
the listserver -- that's why regular email sent to the high volume
lists still deliver quickly. It's stuck in a transient delivery queue
for reasons yet not fully figured out.

Thanks for the report!
