We've discussed offline with Michael, a few patches have been merged, and there are still a few pending pull requests. I liked the script already, but it's getting even cooler ;-).

A few more random thoughts (not on my personal todo-list):

* It may make sense to add the short sha1 of the new reference in email
  titles (branch foo updated -> branch foo updated to $sha1), so that
  gmail users do not get a single huge thread "branch foo updated".

  (Yes, I do know about the Reference field, but gmail uses Subject: for
  threading).

* Perhaps we should allow a per-branch configuration, like

  [multimailhook]
	mailingList = some@list.com
  [multimailhook "refs/heads/my-branch"]
        mailingList = some-other@list.com
        <whateverOtherConfig> = <whateverOtherValue>

  Branch specific would override value for Config.get(), and
  Config.get_all() should probably list both the branch-specific and the
  other keys.
