Good point - it probably wouldn't have been so annoying if it
had just been reporting errors.  But that does mean *failed*
builds.  Warnings shouldn't trigger it, IMO

It should be annoying - yes.  But it should only annoy those
who *choose* to be annoyed by it.  There are 500+ people on
the coders list - and only a dozen or so who can actually do
something to shut this up.

That might indicate sending this to the admin list as before,
though that would exclude those (very valued!) contributors
who aren't actually included in this core group.  Or perhaps
we should define a new list specifically for this sort of info.
