I've done this with mailman, which works. But since I've been thinking about
it more, I'm finding that NNTP just makes more sense. This is partly so that
people can go to the server and check the old logs, without having to keep
and organize copies in their own mail spools, partly because the messages
can be expired on a sane basis, partly because NNTP has turned out to be an
extremely robust and easily securiable service for external access, and
partly because it supports extremely large commit messages very well without
hammering a mail feed with dozens or hundreds of copies all sent out
simultaneously.
