As much as it was a pain, I spent way too much time dealing with developers
who set the old notification system to send them everything and then either
had their email system stop accepting emails OR label all of
fedoraproject.org as SPAM.

I know I had to clean up several dozen developers in the time frame from
2016 to 2020 and I don't know what Patrick, Kevin or others had to do.
Several days when people would say "fedoraproject.org mailing lists are
down" was due to someone who had turned back on their "give me everything
and I will bounce back what I don't like" filter system. Other days it was
that the big mail provider had put fedoraproject.org to a (we accept 4
emails per hour because you look like a SPAMMER) and the mailq would be
tens of thousands notification emails to 20 or so people who had that
domain. And quite a number of developers I contacted to ask if they could
turn down their volume didn't even know the email was still getting sent
because they had been filtering it to dev/null or spam for years.

Having a great reset and getting people who actually want notifications
fixed a LOT of mailq problems for both it and other fedoraproject.org
services.
