Re: Push emails for Git

Hi,

  As the pusher, committer and the author can be different I think the
pusher should be listed somewhere, maybe:

Subject: [gnome-shell] Bug 570579: Redo the layout of overlay components

Pushed by <userid>:
<output of git show -p --stat>

Also, and maybe it is too long, but what about putting the "git
describe" output or something similar in the subject?

Subject: [pango PANGO_1_23_0-1-g44c9dd3] Bug 570579: Redo the layout

Maybe a "cover letter" describing the commits pushed and individual
mails for each commit as followups.

"git shortlog"?

I think tag update and deletion should also be forbidden.

I also think that only annotated tags make sense in the Gnome Git
repositories, lightweight tag should be forbidden also.
