I also wonder how many (I don't dare checking!) email you got the last two days
after the ghc 7.8 migration :)

oh, I've never thought about that. IMHO that could be a great idea!
Take the status changes happened in the last 24 hours and sending them out
daily for the packages that required such notification.
We already save the build history, so that is a matter of writing some valuable
SQL queries.


Not really sure when I can look at it, probably by the end of the week, hoping
you won't get too bothered by that time :)
