For the record I tried to contact Bin Jan 16th, using the following emails, 
about the
bouncing of his gmail:

- bin.meng@windriver.com
- bmeng@tinylab.org

Still no reply as of this writing.

The better course of action seems to be just remove him for now and add him 
back once
the situation is solved. He can then choose to keep using the gmail or another 
email
of his preference.
