Personally, I would love to get an email when the community email system
isn't working, and status while it is being worked on.  I assume others
would like to as well, so I don't go reporting/contacting people when
things are already being worked on.

Right now, when email is down, I just start IM'ing people.  A more
structured system would help me.
