From what I can tell, historically people have had problems where the email address they are now receiving emails on is not the same one they signed up with, due to some email forwarding trickery. Try looking at the email headers to see if it was a forward? I'm not sure there's a someone in-charge of managing who is on the list and who isn't, I believe it's all automated. Simple sending a blank email (not sure if the signature should be removed or not) to the email address found in the headers on the emails from the list should do it, or failing that, I believe there's a form on the php.net website itself. On aside-note, I commend you for researching something you were recruiting for. I've been given mis-matched job posts before by recruiters who clearly didn't do what you did, which resulted in a lot of wasted time on both our parts when we both realised.
