The Perl team faced similar frustration (around the time I started to do 
same - not sure if only I was to "blame" there) for their irc bot.  That 
has now been improved to abbreviate 9+ commits (or something like that, 
I don't know the details).  Perhaps their code can be reused for 
whatever has been put into place for spewing out to -commit mailinglist.

Yes, that's one detail of a larger benefit as I see it: Being able to 
easily follow what changes within each upstream change, and why.
