Comment (by jmpp at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:1 wsiegrist at apple.com]:
 > Author is the 2nd line of the colored Diff output. Do you really want
 the emails addressed from the authors too? Like you mentioned, it means
 the emails to -changes will get deferred if they arent on the list, which
 is just more admin work for the owner(s) of that list.

 Yes, having the commit author as the mail remittent would be a big plus
 for many reasons in my opinion, even though the information is already
 there in the mail body.

 And about committers signing up to the list, that's not much of a problem
 since we *should* all be there, to stay on top of changes as they happen
 ;-) I've been forgetting to request newcomers to subscribe to our lists,
 but I already added that part to my template mail. As for existing
 members, I'll post to the dev list reminding everyone they need to be
 subscribed to changes.

 So, please, make the change ;-) Thanks!
