I won't speak for Robert H., but this might be because of gmail not
putting this mail in the right thread: Your mail client dropped the
"[was: pgsql: ...]" tag, which Gmail subsequently displays as a
different thread (that is, in my Gmail UI there's three "Re: API
stability" threads, one of which has the [was: pgsql: ...]-tag, and
two of which seem to be started by you as a reply on the original
thread, but with the [was: pgsql: ...]-tag dropped and thus considered
a new thread).

So, this might be the reason Robert overlooked your declaration to
volunteer: he was looking for volunteers in the thread "Re: API
Stability [was: pgsql: ...]" in the Gmail UI, which didn't show your
messages there because of the different subject line.

Kind regards,
