+1 Petr. This thread makes me sad and uncomfortable.

Hello,
I don't like to sound like a bad guy, but I really find it quite
inappropriate to discuss this sort of stuff on a public mailing list.
This really is a personal matter. If he didn't post any dramatical
announcement perhaps he wanted to "leave quietly"?
You know, people sometimes do this sort of stuff for very personal
reasons, they just don't want to discuss with public, and who knows,
maybe he would return back one day? He wouldn't be first to do that :)
Or maybe he is going to stick around as a volunteer? Let's be
optimistic!
If you really want to know the details, you can always ask him
directly. Fortunately he is not dead, so no need to mourn him. As an
employee of WMF, he was always very friendly and extremely useful, so
indeed I /do/ hope he will stay with us, at least as a volunteer.

we
lost this courtesy as well

As already noted higher up on that talk page, that's a misconception.
Timely updates now happen on the WMF wiki instead, where RobLa's
departure
had already been recorded by HR before you sent
this email:
