Otherwise people will complain that they're spammed with test result mails.
Thrust me, this wasn't a one man decision. In fact, I was  more for sending
test results to this list, but people would have complained about that too. If
something relevant happens, there's always some idiot savant jumping out of
the bushes (or cellar) telling us "Ha! Me being so bright 'n told 'ya so all
the times!".

Heck, we may even want to close unused lists. But geez, we would have to come
up with a list of candidates first!

I'd say, up until now, OBS was even a brighter star on that firmament, we used
only one list, even for the tools developed by our pals and team meeting
results. How truly awesome is that! Now we're on par. You'll be shocked when
we announce even another list, where we will send commit messages too. I'm
sure there's plenty of people who would have loved to see them on this list
too

Hell yes, barely made a point, now it's flaming time! How kind of you, but as
me beiing subscribed to this very list, your sweet-talk is entirely
superfluous.
