Dear Yujiri, I am very sorry for this, the big problem is that somehow the buildbot tries to figure out who made changes to the Git for the notification based on the commits --- and (often/sometimes/always?) gets this totally wrong.
So far, we have been unable to teach it how to correctly identify the 'blame list'. That's only a partial excuse, the other one is that I was not aware it was badly spamming even casual/history contributors (I thought it was just not "narrow enough", not "bothers contributors that contributed a long time ago"). As this is not a regular mailinglist (we didn't explicitly subscribe you -- Buildbot by default (badly) scrapes the Git history), we cannot simply "unsubscribe" you either. Hence, the only option I see right now is to simply disable the notification feature entirely --- or at least until someone can figure out how to fix it... Again, sorry for the bother, and I'll look into this _next_. Happy hacking!
