I've only recently thought about activating commit notification.  I don't
have a strong opinion on this, but actually what I'd like to have sometimes
is more background information and not so much the technical detail which
anyway is already present in the commit itself.

For example I'm often curious:  What were people doing when they discovered
bug X or missing feature Y.  What package did they try out on tinycc, what
platform are they working on.  Or with some not quite common feature: why
do we need that, what is it good for.  All such things.  Of course I could
google, but I'm lazy.

In that sense I think some personal notes are a good thing, hence and when.
Not that every single commit needs to be commented on the mailing list.
Nobody wants to be spammed after all ;)  YMMV ...

As to notifications from repo.or.cz, basically what you would get is this:
