I think when you merge it makes all the commits onto the branch that
was merged into also. At least this is what happened on the
xfce-commits list when one of the devs merged several branches with a
total of 800+ commits in them, each triggering a commit mail :)

Ok, but ideally it would do as I described, like the github commit list
for the scintilla-update merge:

https://github.com/geany/geany/commits

Anyway I think the problem of only showing the first commit of the push
in the subject makes the commit mails harmful because changes can easily
be missed. This problem seems more important than the potential flooding
issue. In practice our branch merges likely wouldn't have 800 commits.

+1

And if we do have a case where a massive amount of commits will happen at once, we could just temporarily disable the commit mails or ask Enrico to do it. IIRC it would just be a matter of turning of the webhook through Github admin settings and turning it back on afterwards.

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
