This is great!

Is the mail going to the committer having triggered the current test run
or to all addresses in the ChangeLog since the last successful build? (I
guess the later would be preferrable.)

A new mailing list @gcc.gnu.org (with a web archive, of course), that is
Cc:ed on these messages would be nice. Have you already talked to Jeff?

Are you planning to make your scripts (publicly) available, so that we can
set this up for a couple of further targets?


Now, once the tree is stable again, I'll have to commit some patch that
breaks the tree, just to see your nice system in action. :-) (Just
kidding, of course!)
