What does this mean? A lot of work for nothing?

The project is currently down. We found a bug in the scheduling
code such that returned results were not being updated in the
database. We are now running a fix script on the DB, marking each
affected result as unsent so that it will be resent. Unfortunately,
credit was not given for results affected by the bug.

Does that mean all the work I did the last week was for nothing?

Guess that's why I've lost about 500 WU credits recently.

If this is true, that all work has been lost for the last week, it is going
to cost them a lot of volunteers! How can we trust them in the future that
our work amounts to anything?

And they want they just post a message like the one from the 28th of july
and that's it? No apologies? No further explanation?
