I suspect that emacs-commit is a subscriber-only list, so that only subscribers 
can post.  Since the CVS e-mail messages go out with the e-mail address that 
you used to sign up to Savannah with, if that address is not subscribed to 
emacs-commit your e-mail will bounce.  It should bounce to the emacs-commit 
administrator and by now I would have thought that they would realise that you 
need to be subscribed so that your changes appear on the list, and subscribe 
you (and you should have probably received a bounce as well).

I run a Savannah (nongnu) project that has a CVS commit list and when I added a 
new developer to the project, their commit messages bounced for the same 
reason.  It would be a nice feature request for Savannah that project 
developers with CVS write access are automatically subscribed via Mailman to 
the <project>-commit list.

Summary:  Commits in Emacs CVS does not go to emacs-commit list

Original Submission:  When I check in a file in Emacs CVS, no mail in 
address@hidden is generated.  Isn't that supposed to happen automatically?  It 
works for other users.
