You should have.
I get email when my PR's are changed..
(I have submitted a few more than you but not many)

Maybe you should consider your email system was at fault here? Or there was a 
temporary problem with the FreeBSD mail servers?

I'd be pretty suprised at the later as lost email is very very rare in my 
experience (when dealing with FreeBSD).

Quite frankly given the way you have approached this, I am not suprised you 
get scorn.

None of those PRs where ignored, your saying they were in the face of evidence 
in GNATS considerably weakens your position of "poor coder those mean FreeBSD 
people keep ignoring".
