The official and most up-to-date (hopefully) list can be generated with:

find /usr/portage -name metadata.xml | xargs grep -E "maintainer-.*@"

Gmail.  In fact, the problem you describe, I have only ever heard
about happening to gmail users, because gmail doesn't show your own
postings to mail lists until there is a reply.  It basically
recognizes the incoming message as something it already has, so it
isn't 'new'.

However, I have a filter setup to apply a label to all gentoo-user
mail, so I actually do see my own posts show up under that label.
