Could the automated emails put the commit message (truncated if necessary) as the subject line? Would be more useful than saying what was modified, since as long as someone remembers to update the revision notes, you just get that phase3 was modified and no more detail.
Except if it's an extension. I find the path *extremely* useful for filtering out masses of commits to extensions I don't know or care about.
Changing subject lines when you reply doesn't help when you use a client that collapses threads to a single line with just the first subject line (such as gmail) - you can't see that the subject line has changed. Either that, or you break the thread, which is equally annoying.
Yeah, for me on Gmail (subscribed to the commit list as well as wikitech) the current way is actually pretty good. It has the drawback that I don't necessarily notice replies to a commit when paging through my mail, but on the other hand the commit is right there for me to look over.
