This is all fairly normal behavior for our lists :-(

The mails are usually stuck in a queue somewhere at hub.org. Sometimes
it's the antispam queue, somtimes it's just the slow network connection
to the panama server, sometimes somewhere else - I don't think it's been
fully diagnosed since it keeps happening quite often. You can usually
get a decent pointer as to where it's stuck by looking at the
Received-headers in the message.
