The sysadmins are the people who answered you :)

I didn't check each and every CVSROOT/history files (I have no clue
how to process them either), but I checked the sshd logs, and they are
continuous connections from 4 to 5 April, which is the period you
reported as unreachable.

You can also witness commits in that period at:
http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/lisp/ChangeLog?root=emacs&view=log

The main indicator though is that nobody else complained. Usually we
receive several complaints on the mailing lists and on the IRC
channel, even sometimes when I reboot the computer.

Hopefully I did so :)

If you want a saner discussion, I'd suggest using 'please' words and
smileys sometimes; the tone is often taken as aggressive when people
of foreign language try to speak English as a common language.
