Actually I don't like the idea of having the name of the application itself and not a unique keyword because it's not easy to have filters in the mail client for all the names of the applications on contrib (I cannot imagine how I would create these filters). With a single keyword filters are easier to do.
Let's please decide quickly on this, because I see there is already contrib related activity that I am missing...
