Masami,

Are you OK with having Sashiko send an email on what it finds to the
author and the mailing list?

I think if it finds no issues it should still send the email, as it
adds to the confidence of the patch. It also lets us know that the
email wasn't just dropped.

Oh, I would think that "Failed to apply" results should *not* be sent.
