There *is* an overseers list.  This message is now cc'ed there.

I've added "Disclaimer:\s*https?:" to the list of nonallowed
disclaimer-matching strings.

Thanks for the heads up.

So there is! Can I request a link to it appear somewhere? I'd assumed
that since it didn't appear at <http://sourceware.org/lists.html>, it
had disappeared and the reference to it was out of date.

Alternately, you could have taken a chance that the reference was not
out-of-date and sent the email to overseers rather than sending it to
another mailing list which is not advertised in lists.html.
