I think that identifying the pusher has value, e.g., for audit trail
purposes.  But now that you mention it, that could just as easily be a
field in the notification email, rather than forcing the From address to
the pusher.

We discussed my proposal Wednesday afternoon on #onnv-scm for awhile.
Rich Lowe pointed out that if we use the pusher's Auth entry, all the
notifications to the onnv-notify list would appear to come from a single
user.  (This is because of the way that onnv-gate is mirrored on
opensolaris.org.)  I thought this was a stopper for my proposal, but I
get the impression from your email and Alan's email that it isn't
something I need to be concerned about.

We also discussed continuing to use the changeset author for the From
address, but not trying to map lo...@hostname (Mercurial's default) to a
fully qualified email address.  Just use nore...@opensolaris.org if the
address isn't properly qualified.  A quick scan of the October archives
for onnv-notify suggests that we wouldn't have to use noreply often.

Okay, does anyone think there's a serious problem with just setting the
return address to a fixed address like nore...@opensolaris.org or
notify-dr...@opensolaris.org?
