+1 for the basic idea. An awful lot of people send such mails
manually already, so this'd replace that effort in a more predictable
way. Not sure about your 3 & 4 points though, especially if that'd
mean some delay in sending the mail. For one thing, wouldn't those
links be stale as soon as the initial patch got replaced? Those
links seem like they ought to live in the commitfest entry.
