Folks who are running a nutch-based crawler that provides
this email
address as the contact address should subscribe to this list
and respond
to messages, especially those which may have been caused by
their
crawler. Others are also encouraged to subscribe and help
respond to
messages here, as a bad reputation for the crawler affects
the whole
project. This list is actually fairly low-volume.
