Coupla notes:
- We're going to have to have two copies of a bunch of these tools,
at least through the duration of the internal mercurial repo, which
isn't going to have these fancy opensolaris things. I can probably
take what you write and massage it back to meet internal needs.
- add-gateling adds the address to two lists -- the notify alias and the
announcement alias (note that we don't really have an internal
discussion alias). It should probably do something similar here,
unless we're expecting to send out flag-days on onnv-notify.
- In the case of 4a, I'm not sure that you really want to send the pull
email to a notification list, even if it's external. You might send
email to the puller saying that they should subscribe to the
notification list, or send a message to the list owner (making a best
guess as to what that would be, maybe), but not the entire list. Or
will there be a pull notification list separably configurable from the
normal push notification list?
