Does this output also list the owners of the referring pages? *They* need
to be notified.
Owners of "htdig" (maintainer), and of pages A, B and C can actually be
four different persons. It doesn't really help then to send mail to the
owner of the now-missing page C or to the htdig maintainer when really the
owners of the pages linking to C (A and B) should be notified.
