We finally found it!
The issue is when your hgrc doesn't contain an email address.
So please make sure that your ~/.hgrc contains at least the following:

### --- User interface
[ui]
### username data to appear in comits
### it usually takes the form: Joe User <joe.user at host.com>
username = My FullName <me at example.com>

If for some reason you need your global ~/.hgrc to contain something
else than your full name then add this to your project specific hgrc:
  icedtea/.hg/hgrc
  icedtea6/.hg/hgrc
  icepick/.hg/hgrc
  pulseaudio/.hg/hgrc
etc.

That way your commits will always have a full name plus the email
address added. Which will then be used to send to notification emails to
the mailinglist.

Thanks,

Mark
