In Reply to: [gentoo-dev] Email Overload; Make summaries and bugs for test requests by Jason Wever
1 Great idea! Often (espesially after a few days of inactivity) I don't
2 have time to read all the threads and just delete the ones I'm not
3 particularly interested in. However, you never know what a certain
4 discussion might end up with. So I'd love to have a summary for those
5 threads which actualy do end up with some decision.
