I've been wondering about this too.  Something to send out only a summary
mail message if a given push results in, say, more than 20 commits would
be very nice.

The last time I pushed the upstream merge for OpenAFS, I think it sent
about 200 mail messages with all the upstream changes since the previous
release.
