The right person to contact is postmaster@vger.kernel.org, however I can actually answer your question (despite not actually being in charge of vger.kernel.org). Periodically, Gmail decides that there's just too much incoming mail for some accounts and will arbitrarily delay delivery by returning a "this account is receiving too much mail, please try later."

I am willing to bet that this is what happened to you.

Best regards, -K
