    Hmm...so do I, for what it's worth.

    Someone with appropriate access could check the Mailman logfiles and see what
    was going on, although it's not clear that there is anything unusual going
    on-- transient failures from DNS lookups or the like can happen, particularly
    given the volume freebsd.org's mail server must deal with.

    I've also seen occasional hiccups in list volume where no traffic is sent for
    a day or so, but Mailman seems to get stuck processing its queue of unsent
    messages every once in a blue moon for me, too.

    Anyway, try asking <postmaster@freebsd.org> and/or the list admin for this
    list (listed in the headers, probably) if you want to pursue your questions
    further...
