Just a suggestion, but is it really necessary that these messages go
to gnome-doc-list at all, whether automatic or otherwise? One of my
personal peeves with following the list is to have to sift through
these messages in order to get to the ones I'm interested in, and it
may be that other contributors are put off by these too.

I can see why translators might need them, but isn't the reality that
if doc people are looking for specific branches of other modules, they
will be able to find them on git.gnome.org? Or if thought to be useful
for some people, perhaps they could go to a dedicated list for
interested people to subscribe to?
