Yes, e.g. pkg-kde. But they have moved to subversion instead of CVS. 
There's even an example script in the subversion package for sending 
mails on commits. You just have to copy it to the correct directory and 
change the recipient mail address.

What do you think about moving to svn? I have used both svn and arch/tla 
in the past weeks and had no problems with svn because I already knew 
CVS. arch is something completly different and I don't think we need its 
main feature compared to svn (distributed repositories). svn also 
handles renaming source package (i.e. directores in our repository) well.
