Emails sent to members-not...@apache.org will be placed into a moderation queue, and if approved, will be sent to all ASF members. So anybody can send the email, but in general, there is no guarantee that such emsils will get approved. In this case, however, approval is virtually guaranteed as the email is expected. I'd recommend sending the emails as plain text. My attempt last month to copy/paste from the wiki resulted in sub-optimal formatting.
