Not unlikely. People maintaining only a few packages will only receive a 
few mail. I am receiving many of them, often duplicates and triple from 
various origins + followups from bugzilla + koji.

All in all they are adding a significant contribution to the SPAM flood 
koji & Co already are emitting.

If you want to get an imagination, about the amount I am receiving, 
check out the perl-list's archive:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/perl-devel/2014-February/date.html
and imagine you'd receive all of these mails 2-3 times.

Well, I guess these "800" packages condense down to a very small number 
of individuals.
