Thanks for asking. I have made many of the changes that were requested
and/or I had planned:
* Tentatively renamed the system to git-multimail
* Store the configuration in namespace "multimailhook.*" instead of
"hooks.*".
* Reinstated (optional) support for including shortlogs since the last
tag in announce emails.
* Script to migrate post-receive-email configuration to the equivalent
git-multimail config.
* Better documentation (including of the migration process).
* Made it easier to use Python code to customize the script's behavior
(by allowing it to be imported as a Python module), plus a demo script
showing this usage.
* Some primitive testing tools to generate a test git repository and
generate many kinds of notification emails (though the emails still have
to be checked manually for correctness).
But I haven't submitted the new version because I just haven't had a
good block of time to really wrap it up and call it a "final" version.
One remaining question is how to fit it into the git source tree along
with its supporting materials (or even whether to maintain it as a
separate project).
Nevertheless I think that the script is quite usable as it is and it
would be great if other people could try it out, give feedback, and even
submit patches.
So I just created a github repository containing my current version:
https://github.com/mhagger/git-multimail
Enjoy!
Michael
