A colleague of mine, Thomas Radke, has written a perl script that sends 
out emails announcing the patches that have been pushed into a remote 
repository.  I attach the script below.

Installing this script requires a trick.  When darcs pushes a set of 
patches, it invokes an executable "darcs" on the remote machine.  
Rename the original darcs executable to "darcs1", and rename the script 
to "darcs".  Set the location of the true darcs executable (i.e., 
"darcs1" in this case) in the beginning of the script.  Darcs will thus 
run this script, which sends out the email notifications and then calls 
the original darcs executable, which in turn applies the patchset.  The 
list of email addresses that should receive the patches should also be 
set in the script.

It is not perfect, but it works perfectly.
