* A daily summary email saying "hey gang, here are today's pending signoffs"
Not so sure about this feature. It might cause too much noise to be useful.
I suggest we still send out the initial signoff emails when we push the package to testing (with maybe some comments about changes), as It might still be useful to have a ML thread for discussing the update. I think it would be best to let the maintainer send a remainder email if it is needed, rather than sending them automatically.
My goal in adding this is to remove the need completely for those update emails. I know I just delete them immediately anyway unless I am doing an -Syu in the next 5 minutes and can check packages right then and there. For the 20% of signoff emails that have actual content, I agree- keep sending those. But a once-a-day report is about as low-noise as it gets compared to what we have now, I was thinking, and rarely does a package need a <24h turnaround to get out of [testing] unless it is security related (which would be another relatively straightforward feature to implement- "send email now for this package" or whatever). -Dan
