Yes, they are. All packagers are involved in composes. Composes are
made from the packages built by packagers. :P Most of the bugs in
composes are caused by...bugs in packages.
What I mean is that most packagers wouldn't know what to do with
these. These emails don't have any useful information for a packager
to follow up with. If there's a composition failure attributable to a
package, then those directly involved with composes, could easily pass
that information down to the relevant packager. I just think that more
automated notices that don't apply to *everyone* on the list, make it
harder for packagers to stay subscribed to the list. This kind of
information can easily be presented in a more friendly manner by doing
something like:
1. Provide a status webpage,
2. Publish to a subscribable service, like an RSS feed,
3. Put the automated emails to a separate composes@ or notifications@
list to allow opt-in.
It's nice to be able to keep the human-to-human conversations separate
from the bots. It's not critical... it's just nicer, and I think it
would help.
