Why is the filter called filter? Isn't filter supposed to remove 
something? These filter seems to cause that email is sent, so that is 
probably not appropriate name IMO.

Also, now I noticed that my FAS registration email is used as primary 
email. Why the fedoraproject alias is not used preferably? May be that 
is how the OpenID works now, but may be it should be changed there?

Also, how the integration will work with FMN in the future? Will the 
notifications be automatically enabled, when new maintainer is added to 
package for example? So you will modify settings of my profile? This 
should be probably somehow explicitly handled ...
