Recent Problems (multiple emails, downtime) with drupal.org

This morning there were some issues with drupal.org which caused, among other things, the home page to be blank, the forum listing claiming that there were no forums and, perhaps most confusingly, multiple e-mails to be sent to you if you have submitted an issue to the issue queue. These bugs seem to stem from the use of the memcache module which improves the performance of drupal.org. So, this is not symptomatic of a problem with Drupal core. The same problem appeared about 2 weeks ago.

There have also been instances in the past two weeks where drupal.org will display a maintenance screen saying that the database server has been lost. These issues are not necessarily related but more investigation is necessary to make a definite conclusion.

The drupal.org infrastructure team is working hard to understand why this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again.
