The notify hook for hg.opensolaris.org uses the changeset author as the
>From address in the email that it sends out.  There is a bunch of
complexity in that code path, since the changeset author can appear in
various formats--in fact, it might not even be a properly-qualified
email address.

It's been suggested to me that we instead use the email address that's
registered in Auth for the person doing the push.  I like that
suggestion for a couple reasons.  One, it gets rid of a chunk of
complexity.  Two, it associates the email with the person who did the
push, rather than the changeset author, which seems more appropriate to
me.

Am I missing anything?  Are there compelling reasons to continue using
the changeset author for the From address?

thanks,
mike
