I don't think it was an http-level issue, because the page showed the
wrong thing from inception, and reloading it didn't help. I am guessing
it was built from a stale view of what the end-of-thread was. Anyway, the
problem did go away eventually, so it was a cache problem somewhere.
There is no cache for the commitfest app.
There is however a cronjob that syncs info with the archives. And it's not very forgiving to temporary network problems - if those happen it can take some time before it manages to process the full queue of "pending attachments".
I think the cf bot uses the cf web to find the threads, but then independently looks them up on the archives to get the attachments.
