I notice the facility to send diffs, so after conversion to SVN fixing bug 1634 (request for gcc-cvs-patches list) will be trivial. (I'd suggest not doing this until the conversion is live and working, as this is a new feature and so not needed for the conversion. As I understand the script for generating diffs it won't include the content of a file being copied with no changes, so it should be safe to configure it to send diffs for all of add, copy, modify and delete without generating excessively large diffs for routine tag/branch operations.)
I actually turned this off on purpose to match what we do now.
You can tell it to suppress adds and delete diffs, we can add diff limits, etc.
Unlike our current ad-hoc scripts, mailer.py is very easy to modify.
