My experience: * Requested CVS account around October and my voucher did not ever see the mail requesting confirmation of me sent to him 1.5 months after the request. After getting to know a mail was supposed to have been sent to him (they send none to the account requester) things were handled through different means, I believe. * Filled foundation membership webform on 16th December. A confirmation mail of the fact has never hit my INBOX (and I skim through my marked as junk vfolder). Later I find an automated mail was in the membership-committee mailing list archives. Two months later I find that my primary contact was contacted by mail (that was publicly archived too for some reason) a week before seeing it archives. I query him if he has seen any such mail, he says a definite NO. And so I'm sitting in void once again until I have time to contact relevant people.
