+1 Even in case of projects where I'd already get mail, I treat CC specially in filters to try to not miss it. esp relevant on some noisy aliases like proxy-maint@ /If/ some aren't happy at the idea, maybe there could be a opt-out feature that'd be adjustable on d.g.o? (having some of these automated things be configurable could be something to think about either way). -- ionen
