Oh if someone could look at the script that Mark Hohl (I think) created
a while back called 'make-countdown-announcement.sh'
(..scripts/auxilliar/..) - that is the script that really saves me a lot
of time with formatting the patch countdown emails.

It basically downloads a csv file of everything from the tracker that is
labelled push/review/countdown or waiting and then outputs it to the
terminal it's run in.

I can then cut/paste it into an email.

It's not a show stopper but it is really handy.
