I don't want to get embroiled in this conversation, but I am  
concerned about the use of GNATS illustrated here.

Where does it say that in the PR?

I don't know that you tried.  Why didn't you followup to the PR and  
ask for it to be reopened, or point out that there was a problem?

We don't have mail logs back that far, so I can't see where that went  
wrong, but GNATS always send the submitter mail on a state change.   
You could always have looked at the PR.

Except that we have shown that they were not, of course.
