It is true that the email notifications are mostly useless, and I
usually only use them as an indication that something changed.

If everyone agrees they are useless, we can disable them.  It's simple
enough to do.  Or we could go and help the savannah people make them
useful if we cared enough about it.

But I do actually browse the savannah lists and sometimes pick up
things to do.  I also use them in close collaboration with Marco for
console stuff.
