While it does not hurt implement an hook I'd say that:

- CI already cc'es the author of the commit when he breaks a package or introduces a QA 
issue.
This is related to a new bugs and, obviously, does not cover your use-case.

- If you are CC'ed by the hook and you are part of the alias that is the assignee of the bug, 
you will receive two emails unless the hook integrates the alias.

- Based on the previous point, I'd suggest to use a wrapper if you want to be cc'ed on the 
bug you are resolving:


#!/bin/bash

BUG="${1}"
COMMIT_MESSAGE="${2}"

repoman commit -c "${BUG}" -m "${COMMIT_MESSAGE}" && bugz --key "${APIKEY}" 
modify --add-cc name@g.o "${BUG}"
