Often there isn't a common prefix; source-changes mail seems to be batched
"every once in a while", though I haven't been able to figure out how often.
One thing that might be good would be to have a source-changes-daily list
which only sends out one message a day, instead of a few to a dozen (in
addition to the regular list, that is). It could perhaps run just before
(or as part of?) the daily sup-archive CVS update.
