idk about others, but as a luddite follower of bugfix/maint, if
poissible and not too annoying to do, i would be interested in
knowing, at the email subject header level, that the upcoming
bugfix/maint release [state org version number] will not support <=
[state emacs version number] so that i can prepare at my glacial
luddite pace. this is probably already done, but making it prominent
beforehand might help signal the need for changes with lots of time or
simplify git stuff [e.g. pull soon as the last pull and make a note
not to pull after that, which prevents the need for figuring out
rebasing again].
