The commit mails without diffs are just as small as current ChangeLog e-mails. Same thing. No need to raise size limits. Same amount of mails. It _replaces_ current ChangeLog e-mails, so total number of received mails are _unchanged_. What I am proposing is an opt in system. You only have to join it once, it > lasts indefinitely.
