Sending automated output regularly to the list is iffy. Bulk build failures are very important, and because most people don't run unusual architectures or have the infrastructure to run a bulk those emails serve an important purpose. Fixing broken homepages is worthwhile, but I don't think it's important enough to send script output to the list, especially repeatedly, when anyone interested can run the script on any machine at any time.
