Yeah, I'd rather not open the can of worms that we send automated emails
to this list at all. If we do this, then there will be other requests,
and why this one and not that one. If people want to get emails from
the commitfest app, it should be that you subscribe there and it sends
those emails to those who want them.

I agree. And this also smells a bit like "my favorite workflow". Maybe
start with a blog post or a wiki page if you want to suggest this.
