The autoremoval warnings are pretty helpful in general but if I'm forced to mass
remove this subject from my mailbox I might loose other sensible autoremoval warnings.

Kind regards

warnings.

Or the removal watcher could have a cap on the number of warnings it sends
per sensible period of time. If it exceeds this number, it sends a special warning that something is amiss to debian-devel, so we still get to know something is going wrong.

One message to say "I was supposed to send 31415 warnings today" is
definitely better than 31415 false-positive warnings...

In general, it's massively spamming me, just it should be spamming you
as well (well, anyone maintaining a large amount of packages).

I recieved 536 mails (2 days ago)...

IMO, if nobody has time to do it, the person who designed the tool
should take care of fixing it. Instead of sending 536 mail, it should be sending a single mail with 536 entries in it... And it's not the first
time I'm writing this.

If we don't have volunteers, may be we can fund this?

Thanks for opening issue on the corresponding repo.

I also got 1000s of emails from js team.
I think this is a horribly broken design with very high impact on contributors. Some just don't contribute in js team because of high volume emails.

I unsubbed off js-team ML a couple of months ago due to similar reasons. I was getting more than 100 emails
per day, and it would blow up to a few 100s when there was a mass bug filing/autorm going.
I do, however contribute to JS team sometimes.
