No, it is not.

Branching is after the mass rebuild, so if rss2email will build in the
mass rebuild, nothing will happen to it.

According to rss2email's SPEC changelog Release Engineering tried to
build it for a Fedora 20 mass rebuild on 2013-08-04. Also it just failed
in a scratch build due to a missing patch:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6180/6916180/build.log

Also FYI: It contains a changelog from you about a lot of updated
patches including the missing one, that was never successfully built.
