IMHO, it'd be as intrusive as before on the sending end, but less
visible; we still get the same false positives, but we'd be displaying
them somewhere instead of sending out mails.  That would be less
annoying on the receiving end, but mumi's search already isn't that
great and I don't think automatic subpar tagging would improve it.

I think what we really need here is not a dumb tool that just stamps a
bunch of patches in some way, but one that is aware of the context of a
series.  Does a significant number of patches touch files associated
with some team?  Flag it.  Are there any packages that cause a high
number of rebuilds?  Mention the X-team branch.  I also think the tool
ought to explain what it does (perhaps offering a flag to skip
explanations for expert users) and be accompanied with proper
documentation for a manual workflow on which it is based.

Cheers
