The instructions say "e-mail that person".  There are only two persons listed as decnet maintainers, one of which has told me she is not involved much any more.  The instructions only mention sending to mailing lists if the maintainer does not respond.

If the developers want mailing lists CC'd right off the bat, the instructions should be updated.
