Hrm, I haven't tested but re the discussion we had about
RUN_SETUP_GENTLY on my re-rolled base topic is this really just a
regression in my changes there?

I.e. I assumed we could do RUN_SETUP for the bug-for-bug compatibility
step, but send-email runs out of repo hooks and we just didn't have
tests for it, or am I missing something?
