The problem isn't the amount of e-mail you have to send out.  The
problem is that a lot of people don't bother/remember to reply, which
means you have to keep track of a million changes (with PR numbers etc
if applicable) over a period of time, instead of being able to handle
the case at once.  You can't even rely on e-mail on the subject coming
back as a way of finding out when to handle it.
