The log_accum.pl script used by Savannah by default sends all of the changes (summary + commit message + diffs) in one email even if the commit touches files in different directories (like [1]). Note that with the recent size limit that was set up for lists.gnu.org by the GNU sysadmins, some messages are not delivered if the diffs are too large. The Emacs case is special (two separate lists and single-file chanages even if the files were committed enbloc), and probably was requested by the maintainers long time ago for consistency with the policy that was in place until recently.
