If a test fails all the time and not randomly, a single email is sent at the 
first failure.

I'm annoyed by test_threading which crash randomly on AIX: 
https://bugs.python.org/issue40068 It's a known issue, I already fixed 3/4 of 
the issue, but I didn't fix the remaining part.

In the past, I already disabled AIX email notifications simply because there 
was nobody to fix issues, and so emails were just spam.

Well, that would be great.

I'm not sure if Michael Felt is still working on supporting AIX in Python. 
David Edelsohn might help.
