No, our guidelines say that such mails shouldn't be sent: http://gcc.gnu.org/svnwrite.html "When you have checked in a patch exactly as it has been approved, you do not need to tell that to people -- including the approver. People interested in when a particular patch is committed can check SVN or the gcc-cvs list." This has been discussed several times. So no, this noise isn't at all useful nor welcome. Jakub
