Horrible ;-). If this were not about request-pull but some other command that produces a summary of recent changes you have, which you might want to distribute to people who are involved in the project (e.g. Meta/cook), it might make sense to have "generate and then e-mail" feature inside the command, because such a command needs to inspect the history and grab various kinds of information anyway, and adding "people involved" to the mix might make sense. But you are talking about request-pull, which is by design is meant to be sent to a single recipient. If the user has to say --to user@example.com, how is it different from piping the output to "| mail to@example.com"?
