This makes me sad :( The main reason I ported the email parser was
because i wanted svn.gnome.org to ping us when there was something to
do, instead of polling. fetchmail is only marginally better than
polling :-\ Has anyone tried to e-mail buildmaster fixed gnome org?
Perhaps it will create a Maildir in /home/buildmaster? (Thats what
happens for the $dvcs-mirror.gnome.org stuff...)
