It also is possible to arrange that the author (From field) of the commit message is the author of the commit, rather than the bot. Reply-To could be set to bot plus author.  Once the Mercurial transition is done, this would be more useful as "everybody" would have an email address as part of their committer ID.

I was actually going to suggest something along those lines post transition, since Hg will have an email address for everyone - leave push notifications coming from the bot (so existing filters based on the bot address keep working), but include the push author in the reply-to field.

Given its limited remaining lifespan, I don't see any point in messing with the current SVN setup though.

Cheers, Nick.
