Yep - there is clearly value in that :-) assuming we're kind and
helpful to newbies. My concern was that so much of the mail was utterly
banal - these: "+1 but not merged" with no concievably useful comment
content, embedded in a huge mess of a mail with duplicated information
etc. etc. is clearly just noise.

Perhaps having a check-box / setting somewhere to 'send this
comment to the list' for when we did a substantive review I guess;
or ... some other magic way of both de-cruftifying the E-mails down to
just the useful content or ...
:-)
