What do you mean by "spams"?  Do you mean to say the AppVeyor traffic is 
too much?


FYI, the notification settings are set such that AppVeyor does _not_ 
email for _every_ failure.  It emails when the build goes from passing 
-> failed, or failed -> passed.

So, if the Windows build breaks while all Windows maitainers are on 
vacation, there should be no spam.

The only situation where there's spam is when there are intermetting 
build failures.  We've seen a few of those (due to infrastructure 
issues), but thankfully not too often.


I recommend similar notification settings.  Too many emails: everybody 
ignores, or will setup rules to hide those emails.  No emails: nobody 
notices.
