Summarising conversation on IRC:

* I think it'd be low-traffic enough to not matter -- I'm fine with
sending the mails to the -discuss or -commits list

* David prefers not using the -discuss list for automated mails, and
suggested either a -travis list, or reusing -commits

* I'm not too keen to have another list, so I prefer -commits in this case
