An alternate possibility:

Put the diff's for a given commit up as a web page, and have the
URL to that web page be in the regular commit mail.  This would
be 'diff -u' output for all the files which changed in a commit,
which would be more convenient than going thru the CVSweb interface
to separately pull up the commit to each file.

If we use a separate mailing list, then I won't want to join the
mailing list because the vast majority of changes will be ones that
I do not care about.  But for a few areas (or interesting-sounding
changes), it would be nice if I could pull up all the diffs for
everything changed in a commit by just clicking on a URL.

This is just a vague idea I've had for awhile...  I'm not completely
sure how to put it together so it would work smoothly.
