It would be doable though. When I looked ~ a year ago, there were only
two places in the code that would need to be hacked to replace the email
subsystem. I imagine we could find a single point in the code to hack
if we just made finding the subscribed pages function return
'fedora-wiki-commits-list at r.c' instead of parsing each user's config
file and returning that list.
