the problem is that roundup does not distinguish between hand-written
comments and automated messages. You want the former on -users (and that
is why users is subscribed to roundup), but not the latter. If someone
wants to implement the necessary changes to roundup (python, not
Haskell, sorry) that kowey suggested in his mail from Sun, 22 Nov 2009
11:42:51 +0000, that would be very helpful.

I’ve disabled the „patch is being tracked“ messages now, so the spam is
at least reduced.

Greetings,
Joachim
