Yes. At least put the new breakage at the top of the report. And if there
is no new breakage, the summary report won't be sent more often than every
week or so.

The EVR upgrade problems report to maintainers-list is too often, too.
There is no visibile interest either in fixing that breakage, not even in
response to bugzilla tickets.

Everybody is free to write code that creates different reports and
different statistics. But more important is to reduce the number of broken
packages. When the community gets larger and the number of problems
increases, this asks for adjusted guidelines/policies.
