Hi,

According to eduGAIN metadata storage database, the official GÉANT IdP admins
contact data is:

...
<md:Organization>
<md:OrganizationName xml:lang="en">GÉANT Limited</md:OrganizationName>
<md:OrganizationDisplayName xml:lang="en">GÉANT Guest Identity
Provider</md:OrganizationDisplayName>
<md:OrganizationURL
xml:lang="en">http://www.geant.net/</md:OrganizationURL>
</md:Organization>
<md:ContactPerson contactType="support">
<md:GivenName>eduGAIN support</md:GivenName>

<md:EmailAddress>mailto:support AT edugain.org</md:EmailAddress>
</md:ContactPerson>
<md:ContactPerson contactType="technical">
<md:GivenName>eduGAIN support</md:GivenName>

<md:EmailAddress>mailto:support AT edugain.org</md:EmailAddress>
</md:ContactPerson>
...

I'm afraid these are the only contact e-mail addresses that I have.
