Tom,

Notifies you when anyone makes any change of any kind to *any* patch (or 
piece of text, for that matter) in the commitfest.  Including something 
like changing the number of patches assigned to an RRR.

My inability to systematically send reminder e-mails to submitters and 
reviewers -- or for that matter, even track when they were assigned or 
last updated -- has been a significant drag on the effectiveness of the 
commitfests.  Some patches stalled, and I missed them.
