Option 2: create a new mailing list, subscribe everyone over there by 
default, and let people unsubscribe if they don't want it. Downside: 
People with filter rules get commit messages in the inbox.

Mail headers should be enough - I'll look into it.

rebase: is a code change
inserting commit in a series: is a code change

It helps for developers to create "upstream branches" that contain 
_only_ the subset of interdependent changes. There is no other way for a 
tool to know which change is relevant and which is not, and it avoids 
updating 15 patchsets just because one commit has changed (which might 
have nothing to do with everything else).
