I think the biggest issue is maintaining a list of subscribers. dgit.debian.org doesn't have readwrite access other than through SSH. So either we implement some subscribing and unsubscribing mechanism accessible to DDs via SSH (urgh), or a whole new web interface for doing it. Neither are very palatable. Whereas if we use a mailing list then this problem is solved for us. -- Sean Whitton
