Is the package update announcements considered "high volume" already?
Even if it's not, we're planning to add a lot more automated reports. I
think this will quickly become a problem for people.

Well, maybe you're right - devel and test reporting *should* be on the
same list. When something breaks, it should be reported to (and
discussed with) the developers. That makes sense. But I still think we
need a separate list for the automated reports.

This also means that all discussion of QA tools, test documentation, and
stuff like that will end up on fedora-devel. Is that what we want?
